I'm not on Facebook so I'll have to wait until Lindsey shows up. I have no clue about her endeavors. Shrug!

Elaine, thanks for checking in. I did order two orchids from Meke Aloha Orchids and told them you would be picking them up on the 9th. I already sent the check so it is all paid for. Thanks and do scout the place so we know who we are dealing with.

Out in the OC, I have cleaned all of the windows inside and out. Since you have to take the windows out to get to the back side due to the screen, it is a big job. I did cause me to move several orchids off of a four tier rack and I'm glad I did as I discovered a soft scale infestation on six big Cattleyas. I isolated them and brought out the heavy weapons. I also discovered that my shelving and plant stands are rusting badly so I will have to replace them with plastic or composite material. Any thoughts on where to look is appreciated.

I also discovered Slc. Fire Lighter X Potinara Matt Saftenberg is blooming.

Tetratonia 'Dark Prince', a gift from Laurel the last time we met in Apopka, is blooming as well.

This is a little Mini Phal NOID but cute nonetheless.
