    Default New roots from last year's rescues.

    I'm almost as excited about root growth as spikes!

    I just want to thank you all for helping me in my very first few posts on orchidtalk! I'm super excited at all the new roots I'm getting from all my last year's almost-to-the-compost-heap orchids! Check out the following pictures:

    Dendrobium before and after:
    The old leaves died out, but a new set is coming out... and it has new roots!


    Tutakamen before and after:
    Lots of new roots on this one.


    And vigorous root growth on the phals:



    Yipppeee!
