Sorry that I havent been able to keep current lately. I had settlement on a new house 2 days after receiving my order from Jerry (4/16/08). I lost 2 leaves from my Cathy Beck. One was from the rubber band. the smaller pb had only one leaf and that came off right away and another leaf which dried up and fell off looked like it was bent at some point. Not sure if it was during packaging for shipment for if my cat was tightwalking on my stand when I wasnt home. No biggie, Its doing good and theres a small pb coming up now. My other two orchids that I ordered with it are both well. They all have new growth.
this is my new orchid room. Previously they were in a south facing window sill in a mobile home (my mortgage & lot rent was less then a 2 bedroom apt here in allentown and I had land to garden so Im not ashamed. It helped me save for a house). Its now in a room with both an east and south double window. Im going to build a new shelving unit for it. Im thinking a 3 shelf unit thats 48" L x 16" wide with wire shelves, wooden framing. I'll have to stain it to match the woodwork in the house. Enjoy the pics.
