LOL...okay...I guess I was up for a boo boo!

I was taking my plant, ever so carefully into the GH. I held it close to my body so the petals wouldn't dangle about too much. But on my way in I pinched, between the doorway and my body, one of the petals. It didn't get broken off completely; it cut about half of it so it remainded dangling. The dangling part did eventually fall off. I was hopeful it would grow still.

Here's a pic:

Well, it's been a couple days and it appears that the petal is not growing.:(

I suggest cut the 3 flowers at different lengths . Then put it on ebay as a most rare variety of STAIRWAY.:p

Thinking about your story, I thought that I would share my story. Well, I was loading my Bouley Bay into the car to take it home (I bought it on vacation) and it had 2 spikes. Well, I broke one of them off by accident! It was the most devastating thing I ever did in my life! I had 2 spikes on it, and those were probably the only 2 spikes that I would ever see from it because I can't bloom a phrag to save my life!


Speaking of ebay, I bought an item from a seller, and he didn't have it! Now, I am trying to get my money back from him, but he can only send it back the way it came, and I can't get money back through paypal because I don't have that capability.

Could we know the name of the seller so we will be more precaucious (you can always anounce a change of status once you get the money back)

Ralph, Now I can see the real color of the pictures. I love this new computer!

BTW- The seller was Stuff4less! I am in the process of finding a way to get my money back. He seems really nice, so it shouldn't be hard.
