We had a great time. Hopefully, we can get together again.

The Zygo with problems is a survivor - it was trying really hard. We cut out all the dead stuff and put it into a smaller pot with 1/2 bark and 1/2 perlite. Lots of new roots and lots of new bulblets. With a little more water and that new east facing window, it will be fine.

The sad story is one of the new orchids (BLC) from the Santa Barbara show was from an unscrupulous seller (a sweet Asian lady - no not being racist. Hubby is still Japanese). The orchids were imported and repotted in a very small pot with sphagum moss. Not a surprise. But it looked like the plants were ripped out of the ground, torn apart and replanted. Not a viable root on the whole plant.

Although we live in Nevada, I'm not willing to lay odds on the survival of this one. Sorry Darcy. Crying
