i was incorrect... not including the phal in my studio, i have THREE spiking phals at home. 11:36:29 PM talk to me [] |

you can't say i'm a quitter: i've been trying to raise orchids for more than
six years, and i've killed a whole bunch. (three gorgeous wild-catts were
killed by george bush... i bought the around the time of his first election, and
spent the last five years dying. not one rebloomed. in fact, of the three i
think i have half of one left. i blame him.) i've a dendrobium, and a stack of phals--about 10--under grow-lights, and in all the time i've had them i've had a rebloom ONCE... and even then it was mutant flowers. but tonight, tonight i saw a shoot coming out of one... one is sending up a spike. ONE IS GOING TO BLOOM! now, i don't know which one, because they've all been dormant for so long the thing could be any size or color. i feel like i'm having a baby. the one at my studio has already rebloomed once, and is sending up another spike. (and the light there is really bad, so go figure... it's all a crap shoot.) my brother, of course, has one orchid. the most exquisite catt with apricot colored flowers that have magenta spots. it blooms all year, one spike after the other. because he only has one. i'm just saying.
did i mention i saw a whole program on MSNBC about OC and hoarders? scared
the shit out of me. |
