As in H2O? Wow!! We haven't seen much of that, though the old grey ones
will speak of such things around the fire late at night when they think
younglings are sleeping. Funny again that I was once considered a youngling
when the oldsters talked freely of "rain". [sigh] Yet, still, now and
again we hear travellers speak of things called 'floods' where something
called 'insurance' needs to be purchased in case 'levies' break as wash
one's soul away. Oh! The horror! but still...One day I'd like to see such
'rain'. The old women cross themselves and make the sign to protect them
from the evil eye when I say such things out loud. So I post them to
newsgroups instead. I don't think its the same......... do you? [gulp] The
fire gods may hear me... I hope the orchid gods will protect my soul.

Not K Barrett, some other K Barrett, not the one in N Calif, USA......Take
Julia, not me.

What are those clear bead-like things on the leaves at the lower right?

This poor thing has gone through a lot, including some frost bite last
winter (mea culpa!). But it's doing fine now, throwing off spike after
spike.
