Thanks Bill for your input. I see that you live in Michigan. I'm from Hillsdale and I traded that snow for the heat and humidity of Louisiana. Living in this climate is like living in a greenhouse but the plants really grow fast down here. My maternal grandparents are from down here and I really love the culture and climate. It's hot but it sure beats shoveling snow off of a rooftop. You seem to be an expert on orchid growing so thanks a lot for your input.
