This was a separate purchase for $3 on 3/20. It was stuffed in sphag in one of those pretty Chinese ceramic planters. It was worth it for the planter. DH has a picture frame chopper that comes in handy for chopping wine corks. I keep a bag for potting certain orchids and use them whole for crocking. He also makes me baskets from his woodworking scraps. You can see the speedy results with Clty. Haddie Notch 'Paradise'. Supposedly the tannins in the corks are agreeable to orchids. The leaves and pseudobulbs were pretty shriveled but when I peeled down the brown sheaths she had nice "eyes". Other leads are forming here.
