Jim, should we send blankets? Rolling on the floor laughing
I woke up and thought about putting on a sweater before heading out to work..it was dark and foggy...when I opened the door
the hot humid air hit me , and I realized that the air conditioner was set waaaay to low!
Ken, I just bought all these plants on ebay from nia22d. They were in spike or flower when I got them so I can't take any credit.
I have had some success with Catts and Phals and am trying to be brave and branch out! This seller had a great deal, 10 mystery
plants for $59. I am thrilled with what I got and hope I can get them to bloom again!

Beats me Ursula!
Here's the tag before I smeared half of the writing off it!
Thumb of 2010-09-17/sugarcane/db27a2
A couple of the tags say 'Patent process initiated' and I was assuming that they were newly named
plants. I asked the seller, but she didn't get back to me.

It looks like only half of the O got printed. And looking at the nice blooms, it seems to be a match.
