I'll bet your little visitor WAS respected! When I was in my teens, we had a mama and two babies living 8' from our front door. Luckily they are nocturnal, and we never had a problem with them.
I had a fun day at Andy's first ever open house today! It was cool, and I had lots of time to talk orchids with both Andy and Katrin. No pictures...it would have been impossible, and alot of the blooms were at the San Diego show.
