Wow Lin, that's a lot to have to deal with in such a short period of time. I'm glad that you were able to recover and move on. I will be sure to convey your message to Cinta when I'm in touch with her again. I think I'll share your experience with her as well, so that she can know that she's not alone in dealing with her loss.

Doc, I know that I've had tags on the ones that I had in the past. I still find one or two lying around from time to time (a sad reminder of the loss). When I had them previously, I was a novice at the time and didn't know about mealy bugs. I had a bad infestation and kept trying to wash them off with soapy water. They kept returning, so I just decided to throw them all away including an oncidium, before they infected my other houseplants. A few years ago, Lowe's sold them bare rooted in plastic packs. I was working at the time and not into growing exotics. I had no idea they would discontinue carrying them, so I guess I've missed out on those.
