    No I.D. Cattleya behaving strangely

    Help; my Hilo Leopard bud was broken by the monsters at FedEx!

    Hey all, First off, I'm new here, so hello!! I've been a hobbyist collector and breeder for the past few years. I'm an undergrad student about to go into a graduate program in medical anthropology, and orchids keep me afloat (and happy)! Second, I recently ordered a Hilo Leopard from Brookside...
