Has your orchid bloomed yet?
I did get it to bloom just once but the flowers were kind of deformed. It now looks healthier, I divided it a few months ago hoping to jump-start some action. Nothing yet.
It had been laying around the house with no care at all for a very long time as the lady was in a nursing home for a while prior to her passing...so it may be a while before it lives up to it's potential but it's on it's way

Maybe I need to move. All I ever see are stained clothes and old furniture and tools that don't work. I would look at the sellers like ...what the....I don't even stop anymore

I totally understand what you are saying Some garage sales look like they are just throwing out their trash...and they want $ for it...crazy!
I just really go to estate sales(when they aren't by a special company who throws them) and if they say in the ad plants... check it out next time.
