Happy Sunny Sunday everyone!

Yes, the article by Goeff Stein is a good one. There are so many really great places to find information there is really no reason not to have answers to all the questions that may arise.
My problem is I can not comprehend and remember it all. I need to print it out, write it down, make a file the whole mess and that is so time consuming. It is well worth it in the end especially when you enjoy propagating them as I do.

Those buds are coming along. I have been so surprised at the number of buds that pop out overnight on the stock plants in the house. This is the time of year. I love getting up each morning and just looking to see what is new.

I found this little guy when I watered the GH today. He is a little orange zygo and is still a real baby and not ready to be sold yet, but he is going to bloom. So cute. Never saw one so small have a bud. The bud could get as big as the plant. LOL Of course, they get a lot of light in the GH and sometimes their stems will fade due to the sun just as they will do in the winter when they do not get enough sun. We can talk about the affects of light on them one day if anyone is interested. I hate to take up your time and mine if you are really not interested. Maybe it is best if you just ask questions when you have them. JB
