I hadn't been out to the shade house in a while and I was looking for Dad today so I wandered outside when it wasn't raining. Dad put all my vandas back in the shade house but he hung them totally different than how I had them so I'm going to have to go in and reorganize. Plus, I had pulled down all my hanging cattleyas (that are in baskets and such) from the lattice walls and set them on the floor so I could cover everyone up with blankets through the winter. So now I need to hang everyone back up that's on a hook and get my shelves a little less crowded. I'm going to have to have a reorganization day soon. Just looking at them all was making me a little OCD.
In good news, I have to take back something I said earlier. I did not kill my Lc. C.G. Roebling 'Sentinel'. I totally thought I did. It definitely had black rot. But when I was assessing things today I saw that I still had one plant left in the quarantine area. It had only had one leaf left, but it was hanging on so I let it be. I was excited to see today that it had another new leaf coming up! And when I looked at the tag, I saw it was Lc. C.G. Roebling 'Sentinel'! It will take it years to bloom again, I'm sure, but at least it's not dead!
