We got very inspired from yesterday and spent over 5 hours re-potting some of our orchids.  Galahad went to the nursery and bought new hangers, rhizome clips, sphagnum moss, and fungicide.  What an exhausting day.  Hopefully, we'll see soon that it was productive.  We have a few orchids that appear to be diseased.  After a few treatments with the fungicide, it should heal them.  We had quite a time figuring out the ratio of powder to water.  They gave us the tablespoon/gallon ratio, but we had a 24-ounce spray bottle.  So, after straining our brains with elementary school math, we figured it out.  Somehow, we both used different methods but arrived at the same answer.  Take that all you teachers who said there was only one way to solve each problem.
