An orchid fancier with a CP problem
I was so happy, I had just finished redoing my plant grow rack to give the big guys more room and replaced my aging t12 lights in one section with T8's. Then it happened, I had been waiting over 3 years for my phragmipedium sorcerer's apprentice to grow a fan big enough to support a flower spike. I had told no one of the emerging spike, afraid that it would some how cease to be if I did. Then a split second of inattention when putting the plants back in the rack I hit the spike on the lights and snapped off the growing tip.
