    Post My recent obsession...

    It's a grocery store rescue baby. Sad how they treat their orchids - saw about 20 tucked under a shelf dying and felt this one had half a chance.

    The few that weren't on their last leg were packed so close together I'm sure they were apt to spread problems.

    In any case this is the one I pray most for!

    Thanks J., coming from a senior member I consider what you said ("Good choice") a great compliment.

    They are always worth saving. But personally, white orchid flowers just don't excite me.

    I'll remember not to send you one Harvey! (Like I ever would...)
    Can you see the spider in the mouth? Or do you see a snake head?

    Beautiful. I think white orchid blooms are so elegant. I never seem to collect many though.

    cheers,
