I love that Ctsm, Patty. Mine are all sleeping.

Jim

Thanks Jim. I have to admit, I bought it in bud just a week and a half ago! The one I have is sleeping too and I bought it very small from Fred Clark a couple of years ago when he came to our Society meeting....it has yet to bloom for me.

How is YOUR Jimminey Cricket doing? I know you bought the same one I did in Apopka...does it show any signs of blooming yet? I can't get over how BIG that bloom is!

I'll have to look for it tomorrow, Patty.

Jim

Patty...that looks like the leaf...I PROMISE I will take a picture tomorrow...my next to last day !
Ursula..yes..it is an exciting place to work..


we worked on a bed this morning called " The Treasures Bed"...because of all the stuff found in it that falls out of the guests pockets on the roller coaster ride...this morning I found .56 and 2 pair of sunglasses....hardly a treasure..but it beats a kick in the head!

glad to give you a little smile today Ken!...
it was hard for me to find ANY humor at 3am...working on this bed in the 48 degree temps...boy was I glad to see the sun rise!

This IS a really tough job, Lindsey!

Having to be at work at 3am is a kick in the head.

Jim

Go ahead... And kick me while I'm down!
2 more shifts... Unless it's going to be cold and raining on Friday... Then I'll call in sick!

Been waiting for my Onc Dancing Lady to bloom..has been pouting for 4 years since I made a division and repotted it.
It is happily back now, I will take what it can give! Happy it still managed to bloom, catching up while being mostly dry last Dec while I was away.



Moving it dowstairs to join its other Oncidiums friends. It changed places with Onc Sharry Baby already ready to rest for the season.

Yay!

Dancing Ladies just make you smile, don't they?!

They sure do! Cute little thing!

I had some Dancing Ladies and they really were great plants with beautiful flowers.

Thanks! I am glad it is quite a forgiving one

Adorable, Tarev !
My plants went back outside today..it's going to be warm enough ( I hope!) at night.


Blc. Cherry Suisse 'Kauai' HCC/AOS opened her 2 buds yesterday, but it was too gloomy
to get a decent picture!




They finally let me work in the orchid house today...so many plants in distress and crying out for help..
There ought to be a law against orchid abuse by major corporations with 'Gardens' in their name!

Lindsey

Oooh, love love love that Blc. Cherry Suisse 'Kauai'

Lindsey, I had no doubt you would wind up in the Orchid house!! Yeah for the poor neglected plants!!

It's a huge house and about 25% of the plants looked like this


I pulled out 20 totally deceased victims and about 35% if the rest have serious black rot problems.
All of the living plants desperately need repotting.. At least 50!plants had no pots at all.. They had been placed in one of those plastic pot trays.
I'm ready for a stiff drink!
