Since Frank has become an enthusiast, is it "double your pleasure, double
your budget?"

This has become a dangerous enterprise indeed. Frank never complained when
I bought new plants, but now he has his own desires to deal with in addition
to mine. He saw a photo ad of Phal. violacea "Krull's Navy Blue" in an
issue of Orchids and now he's on a crusade for a true blue Phal. I got a
lead on one from a friend - it was five hundred buckaroos! No, neither of
us would ever, ever come even close to doing something like that. After
all, it would die quickeer than you could say Blue Phal.

Before that it was a true red Phal. He satisfied that with Lonnie Morris
"Nationwide", at a reasonable price at Odom's.

Next month is Redland. Will work for gas money........
