Hi, all,

We in this newsgroup share our successes with eachother. Yet each of us has
experienced failures. How many times have we read a post by a newby on the
rec.gardens.orchids site asking for help in saving and ailing plant?

Well, over the years, I've been there too. In fact, lots of times. Here are
only some of the failures that I have had. I post this picture only to make
the newbies not feel so badly in any orchid failure.

I recycle my labels but my "Dead Orchid" list would compete with your label
count!!

At least I now know what I can't grow but that doesn't stop me from trying.
I always think I can do better next time.

If you could read the labels, you would see the same name more than once.
