What a shame, Jim. Both that you didn't get pictures, and that there was a plant in distress.
I would have dashed over to say hello, but was at school with the kiddies yesterday morning, and by the time we finish with 4 classes, exhausted and dehydrated, as it's a veggie garden in the full, blazing sun! Oh, and elementary school kids . . . with lots of questions.
We miss you when you don't post for a few days, but you always have new wonders to show us when you come back. Love that Encyclia, looks like Japanese art! Mine are just on the verge, here.
