Oh, Jo that is such a shame. I know how devastated we will be when we lose our cat, although she is only 12.

Here's something to cheer you up, too. First pic is one of four cuttings of P.quadrangularis that has been in water for nearly 2 weeks and has not wilted or lost any leaves. I think we may have a success here! Will send it along to you as soon as I'm sure it's rooting.

Always fun, the lobster claw Heliconias are starting to bloom their bizarre flowers. I must get after the ratty looking foliage, but I know my friends won't look at that, right?

Last one is a native orchid, Encyclia tampensis, with very tiny golden flowers, white lip with a little purple and a lovely fragrance!
