Nice to know that the group is still growing.  It has been quiet for awhile.  Here in North Florida my plants are starting to get a little stressed.  They hate the heat, but also what comes around when it gets warm.  A group of squirrels broke into the greenhouse and ravaged my pleurothallid table.  A few are not salvageable as they ate all of the leaves and pseudobulbs.  Some may survive, but they only have a leaf or two left.  One of my non-pleuros on the table only has pseudobulbs.  It is amazing what the little monsters can do in one day!  Luckily they only attacked one half of the table.  I know what my chore will be this weekend though....squirrel-proofing the greenhouse!  (It is tempting to leave my hunting dog out to kill them off, but I do occasionally feel bad when she kills them.)

For those of you who know me and those who don't,

I'm FINALLY growing a few orchids again! The collection is currently about 100 plants--but not nearly the high percentage of pleurothallids that it was when I had 2000--YET! I'll get there. Pleurothallids are still my first love among the orchids and little by little I'll be accumulating them and integrating them into the growing space (under lights again) amongst the other orchids and weird and unusual plants from other families.

Wish me luck.

Carlo
