It looks like ok in starting this thread...
Too bad, Carol. I have seen many of your beautiful orchid blooms in several forums here, but never thought that you could have one gone! AW I have learned lot from you.
Ursula, thanks for the links again. I think you and Alice (hi!) are all telling me to "ease up!" Guess that's what I need, I think?
Because this is the first orchid for me to grow, pressure and anxiety are all on me now... you are succeeding in loosening me up! Thanks
Surprisingly, Ursula said: "It would be lovely if you were to get a plant in bloom and you could just enjoy it?" and actually the Orchid grower/vendor just informed me he had found one zygo I ordered was in bloom. And he shipped it to me today to arrive on wed! I am very nervous that the orchid in bloom could be damaged/harmed during the trip (from WA). Nothing can do buy wait now! I hope the orchid in bloom will be intact when arriving and I can "just enjoy it"! How lovely it is then! I am in the mode of overthinking again...
