Me, too!! All I kept thinking of was loss of my photography and the enjoyment of wandering around the garden everyday and how long after surgery, if needed, would it take before I could start deadheading again! I am feeling a huge sigh of relief!

I asked goldenfish to post her orchis plants. She has kindly put them in the database! http://cubits.org/orchids/db/d...
I'm thinking of buying and potting some.

Ascda Peddler's Velvet Gold is opening a spike. It would have been nice if a Japanese beetle had not damaged some blooms. ( the beetle became "toast" for the Gouramis.)

And here is a warmth-loving Cymbidium!! ( never mind "warmth- tolerant")
Cym. Amazing 'Marlow Orchids'. I can't believe it spiked at 90 degr. F!

Laelia purpurata 'Delicata' opened today. I still miss my pretty, dark lipped purpurata which bit the dust in our wet Spring last year, but I could get used to this one.....

Finally an orchid opened!! This Encyclia ionocentra has been budded for months. When I put it outside it sulked so I brought it back in. Then it opened!

Here is a Den unicum that just arrived with flowers way past peak. Looks like the pseudobulb is very dehydrated. Well it picked the right place to hydrate!!

Pretty Bluebird! I think the blue is in the range of color. You know, I never saw a Neofinetia hybrids I didn't like. They are all cute!

I like the Encyclia ionocentra a lot!
