Little stars is almost bullet proof. Blooms in the fall. Let this plant get large. Big plants make quite a show. It does not take long. It responds to feed and supplements. This species and the primaries are known as lady of the night. A nickname. When in bloom at night it has a sweet and spicy smell. Brassavolas fragrance vary from species to species. Little stars is strong but I like it. It would be too strong for me in the bedroom. I have many of these and some live on the patio around 50 ft. from my bedroom and that is perfect. I have brought this plant to an orchid meeting and most liked it. But a few were driven away. Orchids are very evolved. They have been around for millions of years. The pollinator for this type is nocturnal. I'd like to think it gives me a smell show at night just to please me. But it is programed in through evolution...

My husband and I are currently working with architects to design a home that is very similar to what you've described (1.5 stories, 2 bed, 2.5 bath - one tub, one shower). However, in order to accommodate our needs (a study on the first floor, a pantry, etc.) we ended up a little above your stated size preference (1700 square feet). We've been cautioned against building small for some of the reasons mentioned here, but honestly we would pay more for a smaller home. We'd prefer a small place with high-end details to a larger home. In the area where we live there are not older homes this size on the market, although we waited for about ~2 years seeing what would come available. Ultimately, we decided in our area, which has a high percentage of retirees and child-free couples, a smaller house could sell if/when we have to. But more importantly, we didn't want to compromise on living in a house we didn't like trying to anticipate market trends 15-20 years down the line.

The last time we stayed in Joshua Tree, we rented the Donovan Suite at The Joshua Tree Inn, and that was a couple of years before we bought our house in Cathedral City, which is a reasonably short drive from Joshua Tree. I think the Donovan Suite cost $180 a night back then, but I'm not really sure - it might have been over $200. Kevin and I had separate bedrooms, and there was also a kitchen and a private patio, and so it was worth the price. This hotel is at the edge of town, and so we had to drive to the nearest restaurant downtown. We've decided not to drive to the free museum, but there is the Desert Arts Festival in Rancho Mirage this week-end that we might go to. Since it is at a mall, admission is free. I'll have to make a point of going to the farmers' market there next Friday. We missed the tamale festival in Indio last December, but I think we decided not to go, even though we were in the area. We can make it next time, perhaps.
