As for the real reason for my departure from the forum, I really just needed a break. I am still a full time student. I hope to have that all wrapped up by this coming October, and then I am going to enroll in another school for two years. :sob:
I still have my orchids and bonsai. I just finished doing an inventory/cleanup of the plants I lost this winter. I have a shopping list ready as soon as spring is sprung. Nothing bloomed for me this winter, as all of my winter bloomers are still seedlings. Maybe next year.
