I would love some of the Sauromatum Venosum Voodoo lily if you have any more. Take a look at my list. Jackie

Donna, you must be doing most things right to get blooms. Problems with black sheaths might arise if you had a "Cattleya" that develops a sheath and then waits six months before the buds develop. I've put a link to a previous discussion re. sheaths etc. Here is a link that might be useful: previous discussion

She is sooooo cute and adorable! Thanks for posting. The epidendrum is beautiful as well. Ruth

Glad this might be helpful...no the styrofoam was a large chunk about 1 1/2 - 2" thick but you might only need a small piece for your circles. The thickness helps to hold the pins straight up and down. For stack n'wack, my piece is about 14" wide by 18" long by 2" thick and I use the flower head pins. After we have stabbed the design matches down, we start pulling up pins and pin without taking it out of any of the layers. This keeps the patterns real nice. I saw your hexegones and they are real cute and I like the three different layout you used. Jean
