Thanks guys - one small step. . . And thanks for the advice on the L. superbiens, Roberta, that's encouraging. I am going to thin out the crown of that tree in early fall, to let more light through.

Feeling pretty good today. Have my first blooms on the plants I mounted in the spring - Dendrobium aggregatum with a nice spike.

Thanks for that. I did notice a root coming from a node on one stem, which is why I left it vertical, until that root took hold. I could add an extra tie and hold that node down - I'll do that. Water...

No, I had a round log - a cylinder about a foot long, but thick, with corky bark. I attached it in the middle. Right now I have so it is on one side, facing the light, with the log horizontal. I can...

On a more serious note, when I mounted the Coilostytlis it turned out that all the older root was rotted, and there was just a ring of new roots around the base. It had been grown in a pot with bark,...

Usually called Polski Ogorki, at least in Canada, where I first found them. Usually flavored with dill, garlic and maybe ginger root.

I notice that lots of plant people are also foodies - obviously a connection. I am a lifelong vegetarian (I eat some fish, but I can take it or leave it - just for the protein/low fat combination,...

That's a beautiful plant! Now I am glad I tried it. I see the red leaves, which I understand mean it is getting enough light. So it really should be mounted upside down, and not just sideways? I can...
