Waiting ...waiting .....lol almost there but waiting
Slc Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' buds plumping up and getting color....
This plant is a tough one ...bought it last june in bloom and made the mistake of thinking Ill wait to check roots since its in bloom .....when It finished and I did she had one little root keeping her going ....
I put her in s?h since she had two ne leads and I assumed roots would be emerging soon ....Wrong !!!!
This one dosent make roots untill after the new growths mature not as leads are growing.Well she maintained and kept looking fairly good,a little bit of shriveling of the older pbs but not major.
About a month and 1/2 ago she finaly put out new roots and surprise a sheath as well.Right now she is about to bloom and has 5 new leads coming along as well .....

Sounds as if you've done a great 'rescue' job - Congrats! (This is a bit 'pot calling the kettle black'.. but..) Just keep taking deep, calming breaths and they'll get there  |

LOL so far I have done really well as far as getting lots of new leads on almost everything ....most are still a little young and not quite bloom size and I just hope I can get results half as good when they do start blooming ...
But this one has amazed me since it was down to one lonely root and made such a come back...I was worried all summer that it was going to fail at any time but it just kept on going....Just proves how tough they can be

John, I got this plant as my gift at the Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society Christmas party. It is a little cutie. I forgot to take pics of the flowers, but I remember they lasted a couple of weeks. Enjoy!
