Wow! Great blooms on the luteola. I rarely get more than one or two on mine. It is always such a joy! My aclandiae refuses to bloom. Maybe I should consider a hybrid, too. But the 'Iguassu' name on one of the parents of mine keeps me loyal. I've always been in awe of Iguassu Falls in Argentina, ever since my sister sent pics when she lived in Buenos Aires in the late 60s.
The Mexipedium rocks! My bud is so little. Can't wait. It's in low light. Maybe I should move it to more.....
Congrats on the fishie babes to come!!!!!!
BTW, I thought I bought a mini pink waterlily online but they didn't send it from Texas and don't answer my emails. Uh-oh! Happy shopping Ursula. Can't wait to see. Do you buy more each year? Do you buy hardies that winter over? Or tropicals each year? My hardy white mini is outside in it's 'pond' and sending out leafies!! No show so far on the yellow lotus. I wintered them over in a cold area (the storage room at the bottom of D's barn if you remember) wrapped in wet burlap and inside a black plastic bag. The burlap sure was disgustingly moldy when I took it out. Seems to have worked for the waterlily though.
I seem to be stressed about moving the orchids and keeping up with the garden and had some nightmares last night that woke me up at 4. The big garden tours start 6/10 and continue through the 19th. I figured my belly or back were hurting. I only have nightmares when my body hurts!
I do have an awful lot to do for one person.....
