i'll send you another cutting in the fall, mavie. also i need to know if i can break a baby off my orchid for you...i know how you love orchids! you've been so wonderful to me, i want to give you a baby, but don't know if she'll live? let me know?

live ur orchid alone Meiyu. when the keikis [baby orchids] are ready is when u divide them, when they have developed good rooting system. it will be a total waste to take them off when they have not fully developed. i deeply appreciate the thought.
