Gazania, I wish I could have done that at one time. I think it would be way cool. Jasdip, that is cool. It looks like a woodland scene. Nicole, thanks for the feeling of warmth. I needed that. LOL We don't have this ice right now. This was from a few years ago. It's actually really cold, but sunny today.

Thanks, rob and socks. I think it was getting overwatered. That's when I repotted it. I removed most of the dirt and replaced it with the orchid mix thinking I would get better drainage. The soil was pretty wet when I took it out of the pot. I have had this plant 7 years and I'm pretty sure my sister never repotted it for as long as she had it. It has flowered every year, but getting less and less flowers and it was pretty limp. I've moved it away from a north facing window in a very dry room to the family room where it is getting light from both a south facing and a west facing windows - about 2 feet from the windows. Most of my other plants are in this room too and are doing well. It might be my imagination, but it does look a little perkier today. :) Thanks for your help.

unfortunately it doesn't drain well. This is under the house, on the far south west side. Long army crawl to get there... and I had to dig the trap out, to make that picture. I called the home warranty people and should have a plumber out before long. I am tired of trying to let the machine drain a pipe load at the time.

On a trip to Switzerland several years back we took a scenic train trip up into the mountains. There were beautiful views from the train The train stopped at a small village on the Switzerland/France border and we visited a small shop with large chocolate
