I hope that at least some of those little orphaned phals will find a kind-hearted family to join. Yew Sung - what a display! These "disposable" orchids are magnificent as a sea of color! I'm so glad that, for at least a time, that they will be desirable for the good luck they bring. I would have to say that orchids have certainly brought me good luck - in finding OT and the members here who mean so much to me and are so kind.

Thank you for posting those photos. The gentleman who co-authored the book about the wild orchids must be a fascinating person.
