Well, I'm not the rescuer in this story, but perhaps it fits ... My mom came
to visit one day while I was repotting a Den. Uniwai Prince, and saw a
little scrap of it that I deemed too small to bother with hit the trash can.
She couldn't stand that, so she fished it out, potted it up and took it
home. About seven years later, she had to bring it back -- her little SH is
only 8' x 8', the plant was taking up way too much of it and threatening not
to fit thru the door if it grew any bigger. [In the plant's defense, this
was largely Mom's fault; she didn't stake the new growths and let them grow
out sideways. Otherwise, it would've been only about 14" in diameter.] It's
been happily hanging here for about the last three years, and stays in bloom
about eleven months out of twelve.

Remember the post where someone found the sick orchid (it was too dry)
at his friends house and he 'orchid napped' it, saved it, and now still
has it? Well once my brother left an office building and found a plant
that got thrown away and he had it for awhile too. I was just wondering
if anybody else had an interesting orchid tale to tell.......Burr
