An orchid goes into labor????

[zuerose]

Okay, admittedly I'm VERY new to orchids but I've read about some posts mention a plant in or going into "labor". Can someone tell me about this? I'm very curious. Sue

I know I'm guilty of the term... can't remember who I picked it up from. But I did pick it up here. It's not really a true term, that I'm aware of, it was just a quip. If that makes any sense. Sometimes the blooms take so long to open up, it's sort of like labor.

My Blc Hawaiian Passion is currently in extended latent labor. Sure taking it's sweet time to deliver!

Vivienne - The babies are gorgeous!!. Good thing they're use to natural
child birth. I had to do a Caesarian section on a sheath on one
of my Catts once. I was afraid their heads were going to get
stuck (Hehe).

Fred - I've got some great cigars we can share!

[fred]

cigars and drinks all round

I will be in that

well done Vivienne

Good thing labor doesn't last as long as it take my lalia anaseps to bloom. Usually spikes in Aug but doesn't open until late Dec or early Jan. WHEWWWW

[zuerose]

very nice - I can't wait to see it after the delivery.
