I really need to back off on the orchids as my three shelves are nearly full. I got some poorly looking orchids this summer with bad root rot from the grocery store. I have been lucky to have kept them alive thus far but it's a process. It's watering day today so I'll check them all over. Many new flower spikes starting to show.No, I didn't know. How rewarding! You'll never try again?Streetie is still with me. She came up to my place on 12 October and has lost some leaves but is staying alive for now. This summer wasn't good for her. She fell over twice during storms and lost a few branches.  I think she my have a disease as she loses her lower leaves and hasn't had a healthy green look much of this year. She's old and been though a lot  but I decided to bring her to my place if she were to die. She needs to be loved to the end and she'll get that here. I keep my fingers crossed she pulls though but it will be a long time before she can go outside again. I'll post  a photo of her soon. Are you going to try a Poinsettia this year? The fifth time is the charm.</blockquote>
