Michelle's heartstrings are easily pulled. So far so good for Pinkie Poinsettia. I may call her that.  Pink seems to be a color of plant that falls onto me. Many of my Orchids are pink as they seem less popular and now this poinsettia is now given be me. I'll get a group Poinsettia photo together before they go green. Woohoo! We all love Orkie! Does Mr L know that your orchid as a name? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I wish I would have thought of that earlier as I worked on that Saturday and from time to time I would check on her with her soaking pot of soil. I hope there is no lasting damage to that. Good to see she many be out of immediate danger. #keepHopealive Has this past week been kind to her? Have her leaves stopped dropping? LOL! I hope she listened. Do you have any liquid plant fertilizer? I usually given them a little bit between regular waterings, once a month or so. That may help.I so want you to have a Poinsettia that lives a full year and more. You do so well with Orkie I want you to have the same success with another plant. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />A rival? i will keep that secret. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/black/t1607.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool1" title="Cool1    :cool1" data-shortname=":cool1" /> Does this rival have Orchids?Indeed. So many, I hope she had fun. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />I enjoy passing one what little I know to help you and your plants.These two will be a project as both were neglected for so long. I fear some rot on one and both have to be repotted soon from the moss they are in now. All I can do is try. This time of year is more challenging as it's colder and they grow slower overall. I can only have about eight in spike on the top tier. She is such a little bloomer. I'm so happy to have her and her reddish-orange blooms. If I had to guess I would say the same thing. I never saw a dried bloom in her pot and her spike was dying back so it will be a surprise when/of she blooms again which makes it more fun.Thank you! Those patina pots really made that task easy.Great news! <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/bsmile/fun/b0242.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yeah:" title="Yeah    :yeah:" data-shortname=":yeah:" /> I'm so happy they have started their journey.I look forward in seeing them. Are any of your new Snowdrops coming-up as well? BTW, how is your weather? It's been a generally mild January thus far here. Some snow called for next Monday and Tuesday but not a cold as December.<img src="https://smileyshack.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/swhatever6.gif?w=150&h=135"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":huh:" title="Huh    :huh:" data-shortname=":huh:" /></blockquote>
