Mj, those broms are great bloomers - I got a garbage bag full from a friend, plunked them in a corner and before I'd even placed them properly and scuffed some soil over the roots they were putting up flowers. That was a year ago in April and they bloomed again last fall.

Missed the blooming cycle this spring because they were too crowded, but as soon as I started yanking them apart to send around the flowers began to appear. I have two more putting up flowers now, and a whole new clump that might get going if it stays warm through November.

I'd like to know what 'Golden Dragon' is, too! Very pretty. I think Rita sent me a start of something similar, but the flower faded quickly from it's traumatic travel experience.

One of my bargain orchids I got from IKEA on Labor Day weekend is still blooming! However, the other is looking pretty sad with limp, wrinkled leaves. I've repotted it and fussed over it to the best of my limited abilities. Anybody got a 'magic bullet' for a sad orchid?
