Friends: doggies, flowers, birds, and more
Perfect weather yesterday for a get together! What a fine time we had. The dogs checked each other out and then all was calm. We walked along the lake shore where we also got to peek at gardens. We also got to inspect the trillium woods on the first day of bloom. On the way back we spied the best Katsura tree in the area! WOW! And then it was back for yummy food.
Oh, WOW!
It's hard for me to believe that that's a LAKE, not saltwater. One of my dreams is to cruise the Great Lakes in a sailboat. Such a fascinating area.
Thanks for posting those, 'bug. But, where are the dinner table shots, girlfriend?? you must learn to keep your priorities straight... ;)
Hi Chelone  DH and I didnÂt think to take any dinner pictures. IÂm not sure if gb did or not. All thatÂs left of dinner is enough leftovers for snacking on tonight and this amount of dessert (which vanishing as I typeÂ:- )::
DH and I took the easy route  we ordered take-out from the nearby excellent Indian restaurant. All we did was toast some papadums to start and add dessert and DHÂs fresh-roasted coffee to the end of the meal.
BTW IÂve been following with sympathy and interest your recent trials regarding your motherÂs care. Give Âem he--! I look forward to watching the progress on your garage project.
mmmm... I'd be all over lemon pudding for breakfast, too, Woody. :)
Maybe you'll share a shot of finished shed sometime soon? I'd love to see it. I'm horrified at the scale of the destruction required to construct the structure. I looked at the native wildflowers yesterday and actually cried at the what would happen to their home. Doesn't matter that we've dug and moved ferns and wildflowers, the fact is, the whole area that is now "wild" is going to be erased... at our command.
Sigh. I know you will understand.
I am blown away by all the Trillium! Yowza. What's the scoop with that plant? I never see them in the woods around here; do they prefer more basic soils, what? We have tons of the little trout lilies here, "on the compound"... I just love them. Breaks my heart so many will be wiped off the face of the earth when the destruction begins... :(
"LilGB", I have a cat named Spencer, too, but he's grey and white. Another person looking forward an EVENlittlergardenbug. Can you still see your shoes? :)
The new garden is comming along - thanks for asking. The hardest part - the plan of what to do, is working itself out - all I have to do now is get DH home so that we can put it into action! We've started with some plants.
As for the new addition... GB, LilGB, and Even Littler GB? OR is Mini better?!?!!!
I wonder if trillium may work in the shady area of our garden... I'll figure that out this summer.
You are Littlegardenbug, but you will be henceforthe abbreviated as LilGB in my mind. ;) As a child of the '70s, the term, "mini" is still overused... . Personally, "Even Littler" is preferable, could be shortened to ELGB, or maybe not. I'll defer (grudgingly).
What wonderful photos - the trilliums are unbelievable. They are all a treat but the family shot is particularly special and captures both of you perfectly!
Woody - your dessert looks delicious and I remember your DH's freshly roasted coffee mmmmmmmmmmm!! In our house Indian food is one leftover that magically disappears. Just recently I saw Annie putting spicy Chicken Makahani on a bagel for breakfast.
Hi Littlegardenbug and welcome! Now you've dipped your toe in the water perhaps you'll come visit when time allows. I imagine life is very hectic right now.
Today is the first day for Serviceberry trees and shrubs here. Also the first hummingbirds and indigo buntings!
Did you know that when Serviceberries bloom it means that the preacher can come and perform services? The earth has warmed up and the dead can be buried now and the couples can be married too.
I didn't know that, but I do now! and that's just the sort of trivia I like so very much! :) I will now look upon our new Amelanchier with different eyes. (Eyes that are something less than wowed by this year's bloom, frankly. I KNOW my immediate reaction is unfair).

What the hell is going on with the xfinity TV app guideIt's rediculous... someone at Comcast chime in and lay it out. WTF is going on over there?
Open app and go to More-Channel Lineup-Add Location. Enter your zip code, and once your location is set the guide will load and the app should start working.
1 recommendation
There's a good chance that cableguy303 works in the industry. That's why it was worded as such. Also, "his fix" I thought and applied when I first ran into the issue. I'm not your average novice user. This thread was posted to get someone at Comcast to notice and resolve the issues on their backend... something they have yet to still do and it's been confirmed as a problem on their end.
Mind reading isn't required. Reading and comprehending the OP is however. Go back and read the 3rd sentence in the OP. Blatantly states that putting in a ZIP does pull up the guide as a workaround. So... ya. Nice try.Also, I've already been back and forth with Comcast as stated in another post here. They're scratching their heads because it's on the backend and they can't fix it. Most likely another update to the app, once they're done testing the newly integrated X Guide options will fix this, but they're dragging their feet with it.
Do not like it do not use it It is simple.

On the bright side, this dude looks like he has a well manicured back. On the down side, your exposed nipples are making everyone feel uncomfortable.
Better be inside picking up some tomato juice there stinky. No wonder you can't find any girl to go out on a date with you. Chicks wouldn't leave the front porch when you pull up.
Oh, couple of things here. First, what you're doing there in the picture will likely result in tiny stick figure children. So just a heads up. Second, never ever ever ever give someone crap for their car stickers when you have one of those stupid bragging about your kid stickers. It's elementary school bud, nobody is impressed your kid can color inside the lines and went an entire month without shitting his pants.
You know you've reached baller status when you can double stretch an Astro van. And by "baller status" I obviously mean a whole new level of sad and depressing.

Lids drawes inside pans drawers
Is this kind of arrangement of pans and lids convenient or it will make that tall pans will not fit in there?
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.houzz.com/photos/1683843/Kitchen-Remodel---Miramar--FL-traditional-kitchen-miami
I thought about it, but decided against it because I didn't want have two drawers and therefore two motions to use my pots. I opted for movable vertical dividers instead to house lids in the same drawer.
I think it depends on how much space you have. If your kitchen is small and you have limited storage space then the drawer within a drawer makes sense. If your kitchen is larger and you have more pot storage space then it's less ideal.
Here is my main pot drawer. I have enough space that my "go-to" everyday pot can sit by itself with the lid on so I just have to grab it in one motion every evening. My stock pots, which get used less frequently, are stacked together in the drawer on the other side of the range.
We have a lid drawer inside of a pots and pans drawer and we love it. This configuration works out very well as everything fits nicely, has it's place and stays well organized. As far as items fitting all of our pots and pans fit except for our lobster pot but that only comes up from the basement a couple of times a year anyway! Some considerations for you to look into would be what size drawer you are trying to do this in, how big your cookware is and how big the lids are including the height with the handle. If I get a chance I will try to take pictures later on.
I love, love, love dividers in drawers like Taggie's! I have 2 drawers like that, one with 16" usable vertical space and one with 10.5 or so. One of the best things in my kitchen, well worth the time I spent measuring my stuff to know what was needed.
Mine have front and back grooved pieces for the dividers, Taggie's look better and more efficient. I think I'm going to add some more, and have found the thread which gives lots of options and details.
Here is a link that might be useful: Drawer dividers thread
I asked the same question in April about Lid Storage.
If you want to know what I have done, see the photo. I love it this way.

Sam and his law firm were hired to handle a Landlord Tenant dispute and Defamation matter. Sam and his law firm won both my cases and I got back all my $4000 security deposit from the Landlord. Thank you Sam!!!
I am very happy and thankful to Samuel Lassoff and his law firm. The staff was very efficient, friendly and respectful. All my emails were answered in a timely manner. Again, I'm happy I chose this law firm and I will definitely recommend to all my friends and colleagues.
Samuel is excellent to work with as a business owner. Samuel is very knowledgeable and well versed and met with me to go over the many things which my business needs and provided information which I was not aware but was necessary. Samuel was always prompt in answering all my questions via email or phone. Samuel's composure and guidance made a stressful situation much easier to deal with. His dedication and professionalism lead to excellent results.
Dear Samuel Lassoff and Staff,
I would like future and potential clients to know my story and the amazing job that you and your staff did on my case. I have a very complex case and felt I was at the end of my rope when I found Samuel and his staff. From my very first appointment with the firm, I felt like a thousand pounds was lifted off of my shoulders and with every step of the process I felt that continued care and support. Even an update phone call would always make my day better and make me feel stronger and revitalized. Lassoff Law has perfected the balance of professionalism, ability, knowledge and aggressiveness with care, support and patience for their clients. I can't stress enough how highly I would recommend this firm and their amazing staff. Thank you all so much! - J.R.
I was a passanger in a car on Market Street that got hit by a delivery truck and I was badly injured. This firm got me compensation for my pain and helped me big time. Thank you!
I had a DUI in Philadelphia County and Lassoff Law Associates got it dismissed.

Our guide was very nice and informative, kept us on schedule to see all the villages and sites along the way without ever becoming abrasive. Had plenty of time to shop or visit historical places. Van was comfortable and small enough to get us to the right spots and keep us out of jams. We had a wonderful lunch up in the hills in a small village, delightful.

need help with my kitchen dinning area
i have a 11 by 14 kitchen- well larger but the reminder of the kitchen we would like to use for a dinning area. as you can see from the picture we have several openings and windows to take into consideration. 3 of the openings must stay. one we are willing to close. ( i wrote it in the picture)
our sink is currently by the right back window. i would like to keep it there because our yard is nice to look at while doing dreadful dishes.
we have the oven and cook top as a slide in- 36 x 32
we want to have a dishwasher somewhere and right now our fridge is huge- IMO its 36 wide 32 deep.
i was going to put an L shape with some cabinets on the wall close to the living room (that is if i close up that opening) but then it was 7.6 feet between the cabinets (one side of the kitchen to the other) i heard that's too wide. and also too small for an island. any thoughts?
Do you need a family room and a living room? If not, you could do an absolutely amazing kitchen in the large space at the top,with a huge island running left or right, with a walk-in pantry at the right or left end, and then use the family room for dining. Just a thought. : )
taking the windows into consideration i came up with this. it could work. i have to discuss with hubby and ask if he wants a family room or just a living room. i think we were considering making the "family room into a "formal dinning" so it could work. is this what you had in mind? is 3.4' by 6.8' a wide enough pantry?

The Atheist Syndrome
Dr. George Grant sat for a video interview a back and he talked about the book, The Atheist Syndrome. The author, John Koster, profiles the lives and personalities of four of most well-known atheists and their followers. In the most extreme cases, atheism is not just a healthy skepticism, such as agnosticism (the admission of "not knowing" if there is a God) or "free thinking" that eschews supernatural theology in favor of naturalist explanations. The atheist claims to speak as infallibly as God in claiming there is no God. In its extreme form, atheism is a mental disorder.
George Grant explains:
If you think this is pure polemics, I'll go as far as to agree that on the surface it seems that this profile is too naïve. To say that all atheists are bed-wetters, sexual deviants, victims of abusive fathers and promiscuous mothers is at best an over-generalization based on four of the most well-known atheists and some of their followers. I'd never go to this extreme to say all atheists are like that.
But there is a syndrome that is very real and more endemic to atheists than any other group.
Since 1987, my passion for ministry has focused on media projects, eschatology, theonomy, evangelism, foreign missions, political action and pro-life activism. Therefore, most of the criticism I get from our web presence has been from liberals, witches, pagans, and pro-abortion advocates. It is completely understandable and expected. The liberals (both theological and political) fear that a growing Christian movement represents a throwback to the fear and prejudice of the so-called "Dark Ages." Witches and pagans fear that biblical law will lead to a return to the "burning times." Pro-aborts oppose pro-life activism out of their desire for selfish autonomy and a license for irresponsible behavior.
Most of the emails and comments I have received from these groups have taken the form of hysterical screeds. In effect, they say: "You Christians want to kill and repress us all!"
Of this group, King Solomon lamented when he wrote:
"The wicked flee when no one is pursuing" (Proverbs 28:1).
When faced with left-wing paranoia, I usually try to explain in a rational and calm tone that there is always great freedom in a Christian society for people to hold other views and practice their religion in private just as long just as they do not break the civil laws of the society. Of course, Christians want these laws based – if not wholly, then at least in principle – on biblical law.
As a person who was converted to Christ as an adult, I realize that everyone is in a different place in their journey toward God. We can offer a great deal of tolerance when dealing with groups who do not share our worldview. It took me 23 years to see the truth. I try to keep that in mind and that I should bear with people who don't see it my way.
My vision for a Christian America is the Puritanism of Oliver Cromwell – a ruler who invited Jews to return to England 100 years after being banished by King Henry VIII. Cromwell also protected the rights of Roman Catholics to worship publicly in Protestant England – although he was adamantly opposed to their theology on a personal level. He strengthened a republican form of government in England and fought the idea of the "divine right of kings."
Recently, due to some side comments I made on a blog post regarding imprecatory prayer, I've flushed out droves of new antagonists – the militant atheists. Except for a few notable champions, most prefer to remain anonymous while sniping at Christians and all theists in general from the bushes. Their most effective field of battle is the blogosphere of course.
They are even more hysterical than the usual suspects – the liberals, pagans and pro-aborts – but they are different in that they share in common several pathological characteristics. While I don't necessarily think that Koster's thesis is entirely correct, I've noticed several common denominators among atheists – or at least the these anonymous atheist flamers on the Internet. These include:
- Decrying the supposed stupidity and lack of intelligence on the part of Christians without ever condescending to a focused debate on worldview issues.
- The use of invective, profanity and ad hominem attacks when refuting Christians, ironically acting extremely insulted when the tables are turned.
- Focusing on the supposed hypocrisies of Christianity, while never owning their own behavior or the inhuman criminal history of recent atheistic societies.
- An obsession with sexually demeaning comments bordering on harassment in an attempt to assault the moral sensibilities and sexual ethics of the Bible.
- An obsession with irrelevant details.
- Frequent accusations of lying and dishonesty even while purposefully interpreting Christian writings and biblical theology in a skewed and satirical manner.
- An irrational insistence that experimental science is the only form of rational thought. In other words, a belief in metaphysical naturalism (the idea that all truth is knowable through naturalistic experimentation and observation) rather than traditional scientific rationalism (the idea that science can only observe, reproduce and describe natural events according to an imperfect paradigm.)
No atheist's response is complete without the "bearing false witness" charge. Although mountains of materials defending Christianity have been written and collected over the centuries, the charge is always that it is a "lie" to say so. On the contrary, if a religious opinion can be proven demonstrably wrong, it is only an opinion, not a lie.
Another ploy is to portray Christians as "hateful." The idea that Christianity promotes a "love you neighbor" ethic is freely admitted by atheists when they berate us for our alleged "hatred hypocrisy." They need to borrow from Christianity's moral code of the "law of love" even while they mock us!
I sometimes use sarcasm in my responses to non-believers. Jesus and the Apostle Paul used sarcasm, so it's not wrong to use it in a measured way. But usually I try to answer rationally – not with my answers, but with a theological consensus based on years of study on the matter. I don't get into arguments over things I know nothing about. In this case, silence is usually treated as an admission of surrender.
It is supposed to be hypocrisy for Christians to treat biblical morality as binding on non-believers. It's hypocritical for us hold a black and white view of morality. Who are we to say what is "good" and "evil"? But that's not to stop the pot from calling the kettle black. Atheists have their own version of morality that they seek to impose on society.
Neutrality is a myth. Every civil law is an imposition of someone's morality on another person. No culture can exist for long as an amalgamation of diverse "moralities." Eventually one worldview is going to win out. And that is really what this debate is about. It's a battle for our culture. The militant atheists are worthy adversaries in this battle because they understand that theirs is a battle for cultural dominion far better than most Christians. Although atheists are a small minority, they understand that they can win by holding forth in the battle of ideas. No matter how vacuous they may sound at first, many of their core ideas are already the ruling presuppositions of the media, entertainment industry and liberal politics.
That is why the Sarah Palin nomination has them hysterical. Win or lose, she is a bright, young, articulate defender of the Christian political worldview who will be around for years to come.
So get ready. The culture wars are back.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Beast of Revelation: Identified (DVD)
Who is the dreaded beast of Revelation?
Now at last, a plausible candidate for this personification of evil incarnate has been identified (or re-identified). Ken Gentry's insightful analysis of scripture and history is likely to revolutionize your understanding of the book of Revelation — and even more importantly — amplify and energize your entire Christian worldview!
Historical footage and other graphics are used to illustrate the lecture Dr. Gentry presented at the 1999 Ligonier Conference in Orlando, Florida. It is followed by a one-hour question and answer session addressing the key concerns and objections typically raised in response to his position. This presentation also features an introduction that touches on not only the confusion and controversy surrounding this issue — but just why it may well be one of the most significant issues facing the Church today.
Ideal for group meetings, personal Bible study — for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of John's famous letter "… to the seven churches which are in Asia." (Revelation 1:4)

PCC Profile
First Capital Command - PCC
The First Capital Command (Primeiro Comando da Capital - PCC) was inspired by the Red Command (Comando Vermelho). Both criminal organizations were formed by prisoners as self-protection groups in Brazil's brutal prison system. The PCC arose in São Paulo in the 1990s, and has fought a bloody ongoing feud with police in the city. The group, now the largest and best-organized criminal organization in Brazil, is believed to have members in two-thirds of the country's states, and controls drug trafficking routes between Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.Read More

I recently purchased the Mac sheertone shimmer blush in springsheen and i cant say enough about it. It's perfect for my skin tone which is a light to medium and i am so happy i got it it lasts for hour and looks great its a really natural look so in certain light you cant tell that its on because its so natural looking. Depending on how much you build it on your face you can get a natural look which i like or dramatic for going out at night. Overall deff. one of my fave products i would deff. recommend. so worth the money!
it does have sparkle so if thats something you dont like then i wouldn't buy

This blush is ok, great for medium-skinned people who want to add a natural tint to their face. I am around NC35, NC30 in the winter, use BE golden medium right now and it doesn't seem to show up enough for my liking. Either BE does not facilitate blush sticking or I have developed a more intense drag-queen preference for blushes, I don't know. But I say if you want a pop of coral color go for salsarose or something like that from the pro permanent line.
EDIT: it's because i was using BE that the blush wasn't sticking. I have since started using liquid foundation and MY what a lovely, healthy burst of color!!

Omg, this is my faveee blush ever!!! It's a pretty, bright pink with a hint of shimmer. Looks amazing for both daytime and nighttime. I think it's comparable to NARS' Orgasm but for less at $18. It's definitely my go-to blush and very pigmented. Love the color and the color pay-off.

I love this blush! It is a great coral/orange color that really warms up my olive skin. It makes my skin look glowing and really bright. I use this blush alot when I don't want to do alot of other makeup. It does have alot of pigment so I use the stippling brush to apply the color so it looks soft and disfussed. This is a good color for sallow skin like mine because it really looks more natural than a bright pink (though I love bright pink too!). I think this is just a nice basic everyday blush but maybe one that may be too much to do with alot of other makeup. If i wear alot of shadow I chose Magrin, which is kind of a more subdued version of Springsheen. Would def. not work good on pinkish skin, would look clownish.

This is my absolute favorite blush. I love the how it blends and can build in intensity so it doesn't start off highly pigmented right away. I am NW 15 and this goes great with my skin tone. I also use Peachykeen sometimes, not as much as Springsheen though.
I will definitely repurchase when I run out of my current one.

I had haunted the MAC counter when the Barbie collection came out. It was my first flirt with MAC products. So after purchasing a few items from that collection my fasination grew with all things MAC :) I wanted to try a blush from them and wanted something that would as wearable with warmer colors as with cooler ones as well. The ma kind of pushed this one on me even though my instincts were kinda like... not. But I purchased it anyway. Boy those slick, talkative ma's are sneaky. I took it home. I have worn it a few times but I just can't make myself love it. I have quite a drive to my closest MAC counter so I didn't return it just kind of passed it on to a friend. Although I just recently purchased Cubic and love it. Its quite a camelon its just a go to everyday color.

This is supposedly MAC's version of NARS Orgasm, and while they are very similar, Springsheen is definitely worth getting for it's own color. When you compare Orgasm and Springsheen side by side. Springsheen is more golden, and has a sheen rather than a glittery sparkle like Orgasm. I love sheertone blushes because they are buildable and can work for all different skintones.

I used this a lot in the spring and summer. It is a bright color for my very fair asian skin. Works much better than sunbasque for me (I just might not be using it with the right technique). Peachy, with definite slightly magenta-pink, and golden flecks. Pretty.

This was my first mac blush and it's still one of my favourites! I would describe the colour as a soft baby peach with golden shimmer, but you can layer it so that it's more intense! The shimmer in it is beautiful, it's really not too much!
I couldn't decide between this and peachykeen, on my skin they looked quite similar, but peachykeen was more intense/red-orange, so I decided to go fo the lighter look :-)

Beautiful light pinky/peach color with gold flecks that glimmer in the sunlight or when taking pictures. Very similar to Nars Orgasm, but for those who are a little more tanned like myself it has better pigmentation than Nars "O". Definetly one of my fav blushes from MAC!

Hi, Please help share ideas and solutions for the following scenario:
We receive our customers equipment from overseas and we have to check the equipment (at this point a sales order is created and base quote is sent to customer with repair estimate) . Now the challenge is sending the equipment overseas for maintenance (Supplier and Manufacturer that we represent), so we need to create a set of documents (Packing list & Commercial invoice) to send items overseas for custom and logistics purposes. Please note that we have to prepare a purchase order to the supplier for the maintenance.
How could we handle this situation?
Would you be loading this Maintenance expense to the cost of the equipment?
At which point, you are stuck?
Best Regards,
You could create some alternative (shipment, customs) document layouts which you can print from the purchase order. Just to keep it simple;-).
No loading at the moment.
I am stuck producing shipping documents for equipment going for maintenance to our supplier.
Hi Steven,
This would be the ideal solution, unfortunately our Microsoft Partner said its not doable. I guess they do now want to venture into customization.
In your opinion, is it an easy customization? I don't mind using the default documents in the sales order but for the purchase orders (just changing the doc numbers to avoid confusion)
Best Regards
The customization purely depends on the format of the document you are expecting.
Hi MMV,
Do you mean format as in (pdf, excel, word) or format as in (report design) ?
I mean the details to be printed and the layout.
I would like to use the existing Packing list, delivery order and commercial invoices reports that are being used under Sales orders.. but with different No.s

Rooting Nun's Orchid Stems
This Nun's orchid (Phaius tankervilleae) was gifted to me this spring. The blooms were lovely. Now I want to try to propagate by rooting the flower stem cuttings. Is anyone else trying this? There are several propagation techniques and I'm not sure which one to try. I have two stems to play with. Which method are you using?
Here are links to some of the various methods, if you're curious:

I have tried rooting powder and placing in spaghnum moss and soil, did not work. Now I have them laying on top of the spaghnum moss without rooting hormone, so far, it is hard to tell if this is working. They are supposed to be easy to propagate, I am curious as well to see how others successfully propagated theirs.
Morningloree, that sounds like you are doing everything right. Did you keep track of when you started them?
I went ahead and chopped mine up yesterday.
For the first stem, I laid the pieces in trenches in the ground. It is probably the least labor-intensive of the choices, and maybe the least likely to work, but I actually think it has the best chances under my care, as I am not always consistent as I think I will be! I had read where someone on another forum wrote: "I read that if you plant the flower stalk that it will make new plants. I tried it and I got 2 new plants. I cut it and laid it in a small trench and covered it up." It is in a protected shady area, and I'm betting on that one.
With the second stalk, I cut it into sections with two nodes per section. Rather than laying it on top of sphagnum (since I don't have any on-hand), I went ahead and buried one node of each section into fast-draining mix (perlite and vermiculite). I put all of the starter pots into a clear Sterlite box in a bright window. I am not betting on these to root, but it's the closest I'm going to get to following the actual instructions on most of those websites. You know, as I sit and type this, I am tempted to go lay these in trenches in the ground, too. Hmmmm.
Using Google Images, I did find some photos of sections being started and also some that had rooted. I found the pictures helpful so you might try that?
Please post back and let us know how yours do. I will do the same. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for both of us!
Kay, I was wondering where you were! I thought you had tried this before... but I didn't know it didn't work. I am so sorry. What did you do with your stems this year? Did you try? Or just toss them? Or are they still on the plants?
Well, I will post updates!
Yay, I'm thrilled! One of my stem pieces rooted! Woo-hoo!
As I wrote above, I cut the flower stalks from the mother plant on May 10. After about a week, I moved the second stalk pieces from the Sterlite box to the ground in the same area as the first stalk pieces. I planted them all horizontally in trenches about 1-2" deep in moist, well-composted soil. The area is in deep shade in a protected bed between a live oak tree and the house. There is a lot of oak leaf mulch in the bed. Every week or so, I watered down the area, but not on any particular schedule. Today, I looked over and noticed something green sticking up. On closer inspection, I realized it was a new Nun's Orchid (Phaius tankervilliae) leaf! Yay! It is about one inch tall, coming straight up out of the ground. So far, that is the only one I have. I am hoping for more and will post back if I do get more.
One of the nice things about this location is that the plants do not need to be moved. They are protected from freeze and frost right where they are, so I do not intend to transplant them.
So it took a little over two months for them to root: May 10 - July 16.
I called one of my gardening friends here in Jacksonville - a friend who generously gave me the mother plant. She just discovered that two of hers have rooted, too. She started hers a week after me. She stuck some of her stem pieces vertically into the ground under an oak tree and two of those have small new leaves. She has others in trenches that have not rooted yet.
Anyone else have any luck? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

How ironic, I just got back from vacation and I checked my kitty litter box full of spaghnum moss and 2 stems rooted. I have 2 tiny little leaves rooted on 2 stems. It seems to take awhile, I would say, don't give up. The best way seems to be to lay them horizontally in the medium. Congratulations to all!
I'm up to four rooted stems! After all of the rain last week, another shoot came up. Unbelievable - late August. Most of the stem was completely rotted (both ends) except for the node in the center that had a new root and a new shoot. I have now gently lifted all of the new plants and potted them up. They transplanted easily - didn't even blink. I keep watching the same area because I think I planted ten or more sections at the start.
Hi Amber,
Cool! (but I'm not sure I follow). Would you please tell me more? Where are the tiny roots? On the old flower stems? If so, were the stems touching the ground? I have heard that is their function in the wild. Or are you referring to the pseudo bulbs? Or some other part of the plant?
Amber, don't you just love propagation you don't have to actually perform? Yay, new plants! Congratulations!
Gary, I am not familiar with that orchid. In my search, all the results came back to posts by you, LOL! Best I can tell, it is Phiaus Joan Hart. Is that what you think, too? The flowers are beautiful!
Here is a link that might be useful: Google Images - Orchid Phiaus Joan Hart
Tag says P. flava x P. tankersvillea . Flowers are yellow with red lip rather than purple 'off white of regular tanks.
Bought it at a sale about 5 years ago. has never reflowered though it hasn't died either lol
need to change something ?? Thanks gary
Gary, I have that one too, I think I got it at GardenFest in Vero last year. It is blooming now again for me. I have it in dappled shade and it gets plenty of water. I have bought others in the past but they have since died off, but those were in full sun. We also had those two very cold winters.
Yay!! I thought I lost them all. I would say in conclusion, to lay the stems horizontally in your medium, mine was spaghnum moss, be very patient, and perhaps keep them in pots until they are larger. I put mine in the ground after I had some sprouts of a few weeks and some were stepped on by deer. It is not a fast process!
How many stems on your Nun's Orchids this year? Mine had two last year - - this year it has three!
All of last year's rooted stems have turned into nice little plants. They are too small to bloom, but thriving nicely.
This year, I know what to do with the stems. My friend had great success with planting them vertically - one node below the soil, one node above. I like that method better than mine (planted horizontally in trenches) because I couldn't keep an eye on mine or see how they were doing. After three months or so, I wasn't even sure exactly where they were! So I am going to try and root them vertically this year. Last year, my friend got four new plants and I think I got three.
Yay! ;)
Carol in Jacksonville
Kay, I will be glad to trade with you in March.
Morningloree, just to clarify, I am going to start mine in the ground, not in pots. Maybe you plan to do the same. I am going to put them in a bed that is against the house where there is no foot-traffic - same place as I put them in trenches last year - except this year it will be vertical. My friend, who had the good success, started hers vertically in the ground under an oak tree in a protected bed.
Carol in Jacksonville
My Nun's orchids did their thing this year quite nicely. This photo was taken near the end when the blooming was just about done. Last year, I had two stalks. This year, I had four stalks altogether among two pots. (I divided the plant last year.)
Last week, I cut the stalks and started rooting them. I also cut off the old foliage as many experts recommend. Below, you can see the cut portion between the new shoots.
Below is the second pot. Last year's rooted youngsters (from stem cuttings) are in the background...oh, and also a terrible-looking Ground Orchid (Spathoglottis plicata) that I just can't get to "go" for me. I moved it once again and it has lots of new shoots... so maybe this is the year? I've never had blooms on it. Never. :( Anyway, back to the Nun's orchid - happier thoughts. :)
Carol in Jacksonville
Here are the three rooted cuttings from last year. (I had four but lost one after transplant from the ground to a pot.)
Morningloree, how are yours doing this year? Did you start any stems this year?
Does anyone know how long it takes to go from rooted stem to blooming size? Will these bloom in Spring 2015? 2016? 2020, LOL?!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on these. I have a small start similar in size to yours. I too am wondering how long it will take to grow to blooming size. Neat to know that the foliage can be cut back after bloom. I'd wondered about that, as I've seen mature clumps with some really ragged leaves.
Hi Sun Worshiper,
There is so little available on the internet about stem propagation that I feel a little like we are pioneers. That is why I have been documenting it here as we go along. I really think mine will put up a single stalk next spring but I may be too optimistic.
Yes, I read one site that said you will actually lose your bulbs if you don't cut off the old growth. I don't know if I believe that, but cutting off the old growth, which has always been replaced by two new growths, one on either side, is working for me.
Did you have a bloom stalk this past spring? Did you start any stem cuttings? I have about 18 stem cuttings around the yard and I really like the way I planted them this year with one end above ground. Much easier to watch and monitor than when I planted them in trenches last year. I'll go out and shoot a few pictures.
Below is a link to the site that says that old growth must be removed. Here's an excerpt:
Plants grown in the ground rather than in pots should have the old growth removed in the same manner. Failure to remove them will stress the plant and it will slowly deteriorate over a couple of years. Since it takes a couple of years to die, it is not easy to understand why it dies and how it could be prevented.
I don't know if it is true or not. It scared me badly enough to cut it off!
Here is a link that might be useful: Phiaus - A terrestrial Orchid
Here are my stem cuttings. I know this is going to be photo-overkill, but I'm posting a lot of pictures in hope that it may help someone.
Here is one of my locations. I'll start from way back so you can get the whole picture. You want to place your stems where they won't have people deer walk on them. The small sticks on either end are just to mark the area so I can find them:
The roof line runs so that the majority of rain run-off is on the other side. The is no heavy run-off on this side of the house:
Below are close-ups of the cuttings. Some of them are the stems pictured above; others are stems around the yard in convenient places for me to take a photo. The nodes on some are swelling fast! I swear they are budding already. I did not use rooting hormone on any of them. The soil is very moist from all the rain we had last week. Look at the swollen bud eye on this one:
It looks like this one is already sending up a tiny bud/leaf on the left side? I will have to keep an eye on this guy!
Can't count my chickens yet but this is a lot more fun than last year when I couldn't see what was going on. Would love to see photos of others' Nun's orchids and stems. Also, if you know a better way, I am open to any advice!
Thanks a lot for the link on removing foliage. Mine is in a pot until it sizes up a bit, but then I will be growing it in ground. Incidentally, when is the best time of year to transfer from pot to ground? I'd guess spring?
Love all the pictures of the propagation method! Thanks for sharing. Will certainly try it when mine is big enough to bloom.
Sun, I keep all of mine in pots so I can bring them inside during freezes. I have never transferred one to the ground. Maybe someone else will chime in.
In general, mid-spring is the best time for planting anything new because it is the beginning of the growing season and gives it the longest possible time to adjust before winter.
Good luck!
