I must have missed that part of the news tonight. I didn't realize the rain was that bad in Vancouver and Victoria today. It's been raining here all day but not really hard.

Donna, I have a CG that seems to be struggling a bit. I think I was a bit too quick to put some of mine in soil at first. I put them in when they only had the white bumps and no roots and I lost a couple. Jeanne advised me to wait until they have good roots. The CG is still in water but the roots don't seem to be growing very fast and the foliage that's coming is very spindly. I only got it in the mail on Nov. 4th though, so maybe I'm expecting too much. The others seem to be doing alright. Some I've only had in water a week so it's really too soon to make any judgements yet.

My 2 Christmas cactuses are just about finished. I have a pink one and a white one with a bit of pink. I do have a nice orchid that's been blooming for several days though. Unfortunately the stem on the bloom got twisted a bit so it had to be tied up. Here's a picture then I'm off to bed too. It's called Blc Gold of Old 'Dubloon' x Lc Prince of Pearl.
