Default deflasking Tolumnias

Kathy,
On the red vs. white discussion: a coworker of mine used to regularly water
a houseplant with red wine, while he was still a bachelor, and he persists
that his wife's insistence that the plant be watered with water is what
killed the plant after he got married. So here is one testimonial for red.

Good pictures Tony! Thanks! Wendy, 4 corks just fit inside a 2" square
plastic pot (one of the taller variety) Dennis Olivas will place the
tolumnia between the 4 corks and stuff them into the square pot. Off they
grow!

Of course, he says the cork should not have been used.... but I can't
think of anyone on earth who *doesn't* use used wine corks... I suppose
this could devolve into a discussion on red vs white. (Personally the
only reds I've been drinking have been Aussie blends.... odd coincidence?
I think not... it'll turn out to be just another conspiracy. However we
won't discover it until we're 90. And California still rules for whites.
Just look at 2 buck chuck.)

Hi Wendy

I can do better than that

Funny you should ask as I am in the middle of putting together a Power
Point Presentation for my local Ochid Society about Oncidiums and these
pix are included.

Enjoy
