Thanks Susan, your WEB site is terrific! I have a blooming C. Jose
Marti 'Mother's Favorite' in an 8" pot that is just filled with roots
and I want to repot after it blooms out, seven blooms! That made some
real points with my wife! I plan to use PrimeAgra from Ray. I want a
clear plastic pot but that is a problem. I wonder about the roots and
thank you for the answer. I got the plant from Hausermann's out of
Chicago , their site is rough on an orchid type, sooooooooooo many
beauties!!! Anyway, I have started buying large plants, to bypass all
that "waiting to exhale". Now I know why some folk say that S/H is
expensive. Good that it is durable!

You like the web site - Go to the Festival and DO the Chicago group.
http://www.chicagolandorchidfestival.com/htm/info.html
We used to live in Des Plaines just a few miles north of Hausermann's.
John knows the roads and traffic, what we want, and where to look.
So now we can DO the Festival in a day. But to take your time thru
the entire set is a nice two day trip. If your unfamiliar with the
area a good Illinois map helps.

Not as exotic as RedLands - but generally not as hot either. A couple
of years it was 1/2 day of light mist. So come prepared.
