Best of luck with them.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I had to repot Venus again today as she was getting mold on her bark and some of her roots had died. She's been with me a little over a month now. Not looking too good as the stem rot took it's toll and the moving her from moss to bark added to the setback. Minta and Bunny also got the transfer as all my orchids to bark but it's a shock for them. Venus' leaves, the three she still has are not as firm as before and I just hope she pulls through. I think I stopped or greatly reduces her stem rot but it really set her back. I'm doing all I can. It was watering day here for the orchids so everyone got a evaluation. Some orchids do well with a transfer from moss to bark and other take more time.If I get a sleepy looking orchid that is the name it will get. <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/babe/k0512.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":gotcha:" title="Gotcha    :gotcha:" data-shortname=":gotcha:" />LOL, I don't need too much orchid dramas unless it's positive drama. I haven't either. I had read about the keiki/baby but not a bloom at the same time. I was so shocked when I first saw that.That would be nice. I'm excited that I may have a new orchid, a parent and child combo. I look forward to the roots. With that I know she'll months down the road will be able to be removed and potted. I also have a basal keiki (from the base of the plant) on Sunburst, my #4 orchid, but it's always been there and I haven't separated them.Indeed she is. I have learned a lot from her. I can say the same for you father. I'm sure he has helped you so much with her plants. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I bet they are still lovely.Oh no, well Summer is almost over. It never last too long. Are your days getting cooler? I just have to write it and those on my rescue orchids as well. That is true. I try to learn as much as I can. It is my pleasure my friend. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
