Thanks! It's always exciting for me when the orchids give me some feedback that I'm doing something right. :-)

This is the first time I have done this, mostly because I picked up each and every plant as I moved them. They got repotted, checked for bugs and snails, divided and cataloged. For big healthy plants I did not count the leaves, just guessed to the nearest 10 but for iffy plants who seemed to be just hanging in there, I accurately counted. I hope it will give me a better idea how they are doing in their new surroundings. If 6 month from now they still have the same number of leaves, a different location, more or less water etc will be tried. Remains to be seen if it has a practical benefit. Nick

Wow, that is so cool. I think it is so amazing that cloud formations are as individual as snow flakes. Each cloud formed by a wind current or weather condidtion unique to its creation. Thanks for sharing this.

That is so beautiful! I am new to the forum and checking out all the posts...I notice this is an old one but I am glad I got to see it. Thanks for sharing.
