I've got both! I asked the inspector if the fumigation would (at least) discourage the ants. Ummm, no...they usually come up to eat the dead bodies. Arggg! Anyway, I'm having a wonderful time moving plants, double bagging food, etc. Then of course, I'll have to wash everything in the house. What fun! Oh Yeh, then I'll have to cut down the five Raphiolepis that have been growing across the front of my mobile home, because they will get tented too...and they're just starting to bloom. I know y'all in the southern states are familiar with termites. Get your inspections, and spot treatments before you need fumigation! LOL!
Thanks for the compliments on the Laelia! It's out in the elements, and as I said the first spike blasted, and the lip was twisted on the one flower, but this spike has settled down, in spite of our crazy weather. Until I can get my "orchid shack" enclosed, it seems I have to stick with the Mexican orchids. Maybe next year...
