thanks Al, i hope i manage to keep it till then....... i have a habit of selling/giving away orchids that aren't thriving.....here is a pic of my Oncidium flexuosum on a Ponga chunk mount..........im just waiting on a flower spike from the newest growth, but it looks set to send out another growth tip. Before i went to clean up out there a few weeks back, i noticed the damned thing had started to attach itself to our fence! you might be able to see some roots in the pics, but i just pointed and shot, cause it was about to pour down!
