I just checked the date of my last posting, and I see now that it has been two and a half months since I last posted here!  On the other hand, those of you who have been emailing me know that I’ve been quite busy getting lots of interesting plants and flasks. So I’ve definitely been thinking about and doing a lot with orchids, but all of those efforts, unfortunately, have not made it to this blog.  Very sorry to keep you from your orchid info fix!  (I know, I know — there are only so many newbie posts one can handle on the various orchid forums.)

To be fair to myself as well as to you, my faithful reader(s), I will add that I’ve got a number of half-written posts or outlines for posts coming.

Here’s a sneak peek on topics I’m working on (i.e., half-baked posts in the blog queue):

- Mysterious mycorrhizzae

- Recovering plants (Part 1 of a many-part series, since I have so much experience doing this)

- The Root Zone (no, this has nothing to do with the Orchid Zone or Terry R., although he certainly has thought deeply about this topic)

-  Apical dominance and nodal submissives

- Re-booting plants

- The importance of stress

Just to get the ball rolling, the next “real” post will follow shortly after this one…
