Thanks Diane and Mehera....glad to be back. Getting to be mostly ok now, but it's taken about all I've got! Who knew how hard such a thing could be. Yikes.

Good point on it being winter and fertilizer needs going down. Most all the plants look pretty good-and I have several with new growths and a few with bloom stalks...AND a paph that is blooming for me for the first time! Yeah! So I must be doing a few things right.

Will see what Gin says when the ice storm goes away. I'll take a few days of Montana below zero weather over an ice storm ANY day!

Thanks again...
