Found a pretty Oncidium & thought "Why not" it's small, won't take up much room Big Grin

It's a gorgeous color combo, Glenn. Trouble is, even small orchids tend to grow - what a concept, huh? Hilarious! Shrug!

My pool guy commented that the pool cage is getting so much more crowded and I needed to stop buying orchids. I haven't bought a new one for at least a year that I can recall, it's just that they're all much bigger than they used to be, except of course my C. Chief Sweet Orange that is now 3 plants instead of just one large one . . . but it's out in the garden in 'rehab' mode at the moment.

Just saying, allow room for it to grow, too.

In case anyone hasn't heard yet and is interested, Tropiflora will NOT be holding their Fall Festival live this year due to covid. They WILL be having an on-line "festival" so check their website for lots of specials, but don't bother making any travel plans or saving any days. Sad

I spoke with Miss Linda today and she said that it was better that we all stay safe and take the financial hit than take any chances with anyone getting sick. As a very high risk person I must say I agree with her. Shrug!

Better luck in the spring! Crossing Fingers! Thumbs up
