Aloha,

Over the past couple years I have begun buying orchids at our state fair and last year bought a beautiful slipper. I was pleased to find your site and hope with everyone's help can encourage this wonderful thing to be healthy and happy.

Hi Amber. I'll bet you were intrigued with the name as well as the flower.

Welcome Amber!

One of my farvorite singers name is Amber. She is a dutch singer, who did a lot of Dance/Techno a few years ago. Her biggest hit was Sexual (Li Da Di).

Aloha All,

Thank you for the warm welcome! I bought a paph x Hampshire "Voodoo Magic". The color is incredible! I've had it about a year, but the cat batted off the bloom (still have the cat). So I'm waiting for the next bloom and would like to make sure I"m doing all I can to ensure a happy healthy plant. This orchid thing is also becoming more than a passing fancy and I can see myself taking it farther than window sill participation.

Yes, I do live in Hawaii. On Maui to be specific.

OK. I am totally jealous.

 

[NYEric]

Oooooh. Haiku Maui plants...

 

[SlipperFan]

I hope you are OK, Amber. I've been hearing about the earthquakes in Hawaii all day.

 

[Heather]

What Dot said - hope you're holding on okay over there Amber, check in when you can.

 

[NYEric]

Put the plants outside until after the shaking stops. I heard that there were no casualties, that's good.

YIPES!
I love Hawaii.

Take care right now during this rough time.

Hope all is (and stays) well with you!
