Hi again sue;

Forgot to maention that there was a plastic insert in the original pot
(2") It said (Blc Fred Stewart- Pot Ikuko Akatsuka).
Th pinted matetr that was stapled to the plant cover saying " large
dark purpl-new hybred cattaleya orchid". There is a picture that can
make anyone drool.
I labled the plastic sticker with the date of transplant
Bob

It belongs to a cross registered in 1991 by Akatsuka Orchid
Gardens. There has been one plant from that cross awarded, It


I am sorry I read the above wrong and defined the Pot in the
cross.

Ray gave you the new name Potinara Mitsuo Akatsuka.

Have fun. and enjoy the journey. This one should be fun.

[SNEEP BORG/HD rant]

To be fair, one HD in North Carolina had (Don't know if she's still there)
someone in the plant department that actually has a clue about orchids
and was pretty on the ball about marking down some oncidiums that had just
finished blooming.

I mention this because one of those oncidiums is in my home (repotted) and
the pseudobulb started peeking out of the new growth.

I cant bash the BORG/HD all the time I mean I asked a BORG/HD associate a
logical question about their privacy fencing and got a nonsensical answer
that it sent me to Lowes where I promptly saved myself $10 a section.

Now if only lowes would purchase a clue from Sears, Bestbuy, or CompUSA
on how to run a website and tie it in with the stores.

Bob, you gotta admit turning the patio itself around was pretty

I just wondered if your plants are outside do you ever have problems
with the dreaded mealies? Burr

******Hi Burr;
The patio is fully screened in and to date (fingers crossed here)no
infestaion of mealies or any other critters for that matter.I try to
examine each new acquisition very closely.
