for all the input. I never buy bloom size if I can buy smaller but I broke my own rule last night and bought the bloom size Myrmecophila grandiflora from Motes. My children filled out my order with a few of their own "must haves" as its $12 shipping for any size order.

Our club (Orchid Society of Northern Nevada) orchid show and sale is this Friday - Sunday. I got a surprise call a couple days ago from the club president asking me to be the "potting demonstrator". The person who was doing it lives in Canada and can't make it back. This should be fun. I hope someone comes and watches otherwise, I am going to be repotting all the club members' orchids in an empty room. All alone.... By myself....

One of the members who owned an orchid nursery in Hawaii says that when the experts re-pot, they expect to lose 10% of their newly re-potted plants. I find that unacceptable and wonder what they are doing wrong to lose that many. If I lost 10% of my plants, I would cry.
