    Isn't that the truth? I had a nice one in bud a couple weeks ago. Watched it every day, and just as the flower was opening one night a snail came along and ate it down to the stem! I was so loud my hubby came out thinking i'd hurt myself...LOL! At least you got one very nice flower. It's form is just perfect...

    Just to rub salt into the wound, its "set up day" for an Orchid club Show. No use showing this one.
