Congratulations, Rick (or should I call you Mr. President?).  I finally
know
the joy of reblooming an orchid too--also a cheap little orchid (an unknown
dendrobium) with purplish-pink flowers that I got for $4 at Fred Meyer.
They had a whole tray of them out of bloom but this one looked healthiest.
When I saw the spike forming I just about screamed.  I wish I could have
taken them all home.  What on earth do they *do* with all the poor things?

I haven't had much success finding clearance plants lately (and believe
me, I look *every* time I go to the store).  Just one measly little Lithop
for 99 cents about 2 months ago.  Slim pickins 'round here. :-)
