I haven't blogged for quite a while.. I was quite enthusiastic about it, but then summer got busy, and I just never found the time.  I am always amazed by people who have time for all their endevors!  I seem to spin my wheels, although if I stop and take an accounting, I'm always busy doing something!  For once I'd like to just sit and do nothing, but that's not really me, so I don't.

The little spotted cattleyas we mounted this summer and coming along nicely.  I fear they will not be fully established on their mounts by show time, but I have so many people who want them that I fear a mutiny if they are not part of my sales plants!  I will just have to give instructions not to remove the fishing line until the roots are all over the cork!  They are growing so quickly though.. I'm always amazed at how prolific orchids are in the right environment!

And speaking of right environment.. the new freestanding greenhouse appears to be dark as a cave, and I was very worried that my cattleya would not be happy and bloom, but low and behold, things are starting to bud up as I type.  The brabantia are coming into bloom.. unfortunately they'll be done before the show, so only I will get to really enjoy them, and my Jiminey Cricket is in full bloom.. digbyana x nodosa and really spectacular... that one is the canary in the coal mine, since if there wasn't enough light, it wouldn't have even thought about blooming.   And of course Fort Mott is in glorious spotted bloom... can't any of these wait until the show.. geeze... you'd think they were doing it to me on purpose!

Anyway.. enough rambling for one day.. have to go put together a presentation on Orchids of Belize and Guatemala for my society meeting tomorrow night...
