    This is not the last orchid you will loose, it happens to everyone! First lesson learned by trial and error, you won't forget this mistake in the future, many of us are still learning. It is what is so fascinating about orchids, you learn something new everyday and on occasions make some very stupid mistakes, exciting!

Again I should’ve known better. You win some you lose some.

    You dont worry about it believe me another spike will arise later do necessarily be positive we learn from previous mistake nobody is perfect.
