Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome!
Oh Ray! I'm sure this little cycle you described will indeed happen. I've
done it with miniature roses for about 2 yrs now. I've finally figured them
out.
As for orchids...I've only just begun. I've been reading a book, Growing
Orchids by Brian & Wilma Rittershausen. I've had this book longer than the
orchid. I was trying to figure out which would be an easy beginners orchid
when my husband showed up with the Phalaenopsis...I believe it is a Little
Skipper Zuma Nova. I find myself sitting and staring at it a lot. I can't
believe how beautiful it is! Here's hoping we can live a long happy life
together....or at least get it to bloom once more. =)
