Help!
Not a thing. There's nothing like that anywhere nearby. And no chem spills
on I-95 or anything like that, either. And all the landscape plants are fine. Thank goodness, not *all* our plants are affected, although we are treating everything, of course. The Phals are the worst hit, but I need to get on the stick and repot a bunch of Catts that developed rotted pbulbs. By nature I'm optimistic. But I'm also a realist. We will lose some plants due to this mess. Diana "unknown" wrote in message ... i have only now gotten on a machine where i could see pictures--yikes! -pats diana on the head and offers 90 min IPA (dogfish)- now bearing in mind i'm likely the least knowledgeable person in this group: are you anywhere near a chemical plant? storage area? refinery? natural gas or propane storage or pipeline? i remember reading somewhere how sensitive orchids are to certain airborne insults; also something about someone who lived over a drycleaners having plants regularly drop dead. (i'm 200 yards from a major gas pipeline; 4 42" mains buried less than three feet deep. i told my housemate if he ever came home and found all the orchids yellow and shrivelled, to turn right around and get back in his car and drive east for at least 5 miles.) i'm wondering if there could have been a release of something that wasn't big enough to get the local gendarmerie in a tizzy, but that could have hung around just long enough to snuff the plants? one of our local generating plants has signs around it: if you hear a siren, pull your shirt over your mouth and nose and try not to breathe for a couple hours. but if they only have a mild hiccup, they don't sound the alarms. just a thought.... --j_a |
