I am such a happy orchid newbie - I haven't lost any plants yet(since July) - not even one of the 6 rescues from a 'store' - I have been keeping them separate from my nursery plants but am considering putting the rescues on the same shelves - looking for opinions. I am never going to clone or hybridize or show or sell plants - if the 'rescues' have viruses(went to a talk on orchid viruses back in August - was very depressing!) does it really make a difference? It would make them easier to care for all in one place - and to look at! I don't even care right now that only one is in bloom - like to look at the plants just the way they are. (so uniquely funky!
