I like those "Moth" orchids, Hetty.

Hetty, remember my asking you last fall what to do with the dozen or so cuttings that had seed pods? You told me to graft them and that's what I did. I think I used Celadine as the root stock. Anyway, not a single one appears to have joined that root stock. Not a single leaf is present and none of those tiny, terminal leaves have begun to grow. I told you about one that had rotted. I guess I am going to have to unwrap them all and make a fresh start at grafting them. The seed pods from that rotted one are sitting on my greenhouse work bench and it is still green/purple, as are all the other seed pods.

Do you have pictures of any seed pods just before they are about ready to release their seeds? Do the seed pods begin to dry out and turn brownish when they have matured?

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
