Sue, Like I said, I Won!. When a member read what I had just got, he said
the donor didn't know what was given up, but I know she has many plants, and
she probably has more. She gave up a huge cattlea that didn't have a tag.
This isn't'the first awarded win. We have some good growers here and its a
small club. Anyone in the Vt/Nh area, I'd love to invite them to a meeting.

Still take the keikis off? I think I'll just take a few. To save space I'll
use one of those cell packs that garden annuals come in for the keikis and
put them on the growing shelf

I still want to see the blooms on this which was said to" bloom all the

Tag says 1999 for potting, so you can guess the size of this plant. How
long
before a keiki gets to blooming size?

So you have an awarded plant. With quite a potential and
history. A full grown keiki will be about the size of a pencil.
Aren't the center mother plant canes about that size. So they
can bloom and rebloom again and again. This is one line I have
seen bloom very happily on old canes. Right up until they dry up
and start to fall apart.

Good work on the raffle table. I will let you collect my tickets
for me. I don't win like that. Usually the ticket before or
after mine is the one drawn.
