tcstoehr- Whenever I've had a shoot "harvested" by a squirrel, they munched the entire growing tip, and that finished it off. (Before I started protecting them, I'd sometimes come out in the morning and there would be a whole 6"-8" top gone.) Maybe you interrupted the culprit in the act, or maybe it didn't like the taste. (In my situation, they loved them!) As I mentioned, you'll either see new growth soon or not, and that will be your answer.

Here you go: First timer here. To get the hang of this forum thing I thought I'd try and post some pictures of what is in bloom for me right now. On its way out, an unknown white Phal. I got at a northwest big box grocery store for $7.99 (reduced from $29.99). Another unknown purple Phal. from that same store. It's been blooming for months (3 maybe). Yet another unknown Phal., but this one was a gift 2 years ago. It also has been in bloom for months (3+). And my newest baby, and first fragrent orchid, a Zygopetalum. I got this one at the annual Mary's Peak Orchid Club show (for $8). It smells so very nice. I have two others in bud, an Iwanagara Apple Blossom 'Golden Elf', and a Phalaenopsis mannii (V. concolor X 'Coos Bay'). I will post again when they bloom.

You have created a beautiful garden. I would love to take a stroll thru your roses! Thank you for posting and I hope you will treat us to more pictures! Lesley

Sharon, you can always delete photos yourself, without asking Photobucket to do it. But for any problem, let them know. There might be something else going on. Jayne, I just sent you an email. It's easy to add the HTML Code that you need to post pictures on a forum. Click on the "Generate HTML and IMG codes" button at the bottom of the Photobucket page. Then the HTML Code should show up as an option for every picture. If you right click on that code, you can select 'copy'. Hope that helps because I love to see the pictures! Kate
