| Well, my Cathy Beck isn't looking so grand, which is why I put her into s/h. The good? news is the leaves I thought it was going to lose firmed up. They look awful and yellow, but they are firm and not floppy or loose like they were. I can see some rotten roots in the mix, but I have heard that happens with s/h at first. I guess time will tell. The pbulbs are firm, plump, and green.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
