Storm pictures and Encyclia tampense

[Cjcorner]

If I saw a snake i'd be beating it with my cane while screaming like a little girl! Where I grew up they were harmless, but I have a wonderful fear of them as my brother used to like to throw them at me and run so I wouldn't beat him for it. I was super careful when I went foraging to save the Encyclia up the road. I didn't see snakes, only a very large bee's hive that was opened up when the tree went down. I cannot seem to get the AOS to come get the remaining plants. I am going to go back tomorrow, if my legs cooperate, and see how many more I can save. I'm going to nail them to every surface in my yard I can find.

Unfortunately that IS when most people get bit, trying to hit a snake with a stick. Oh, well. I know I'll never convince folks that have an unreasoning fear of snakes, spiders and other fairly innocuous creatures to live and let live. Now if you see a crock, that's a different story, RUN!
Connie, I wish I was a little closer so I could come down and give you a hand getting those plants collected and put on a new host. Good luck.

I wish you good luck Connie! I am sure you have already rescued a lot. Let me know if you still need help on Friday (I might have some free time between 9 am and 1 pm)

If they haven't had it removed by then you are welcome to come and rescue some. I'll check Thursday and see if the limbs are still there.
