    So close, Patty, so close. I havent heard language so foul, strong and offensive since I snapped a spike off my vanda. Such a shame some poor bugger orchid lover will get their worst headache ever as they watch their plants develop the colour of jaundice! When I first started plants my orchid pest headache was a free sample of a few thousand spidermites that came in on a calathea and then attacked my cyms. By the time one realises these things its too late as we did not know what to look for.
