Just an update on the birdie twins, changing color gradually. The color changes faster in warm weather, so they will slow down a bit once this front goes by and things cool off again. Arg, I'm seeing evidence of flower thrips on the flowers, too. Got to get to the nursery for some of Ursula's recommended 'cure'. But . . . it's Xmas eve and all the stores are crazy crowded.

First, though, has anybody tried using Diatomaceous Earth on orchids? Was thinking I could dust it on, leave a day or two then hose off. I can't imagine it would hurt.
