I do see how the pot is both broad and deep, especially deep.
I can only dream of producing a specimen such as this, many years down the line.
Thanks for sharing this!

Kelpak contains a great many of the same chemical resources that a plant makes for itself, but by being from an external source, it doesn't have to expend any of its own energy to make them, giving it a significant "leg up" in its growing and blooming efforts.

Oh I see. That makes perfect sense as an analogy. Many training and athletic enhancements, as you say, such as hgh or creatine, supplement what the body already produces for performance and development.
Also, years ago, when I was researching life extension, I read that Neurontin, the medication, can maintain the important dopamine levels which begin to drop sharply in middle age.
I convinced my shrink to offer it as an anti-anxiety agent, and it really contributes to my alertness and memory!
Ray, maybe you could elucidate how brain supplements, vs athletic supplements, might analogize with orchid culture?!
