Don't tell the other orchids on the block, but typically when the blooms die I just throw it away. How sad is that? I'm seeing shades of horses who get a bullet in the head for a broken leg, but it's just too painful to wait for it to bloom again, all the while looking at nothing but sticks in a pot. I am determined this time to prune it and keep it around until next blooming season. It's so worth it when they bloom... fresh flowers for months and months! So... I guess I'll let her live and nurse her through her hibernation. I deserve to go to heaven for this.

Well, she's gone after all. I had mixed moss in with the bark and it was holding too much water. Much to my dismay/delight, gnats were hanging out in the moss! Vaya con Dios amiga!!!! I have already replaced her.
