Special Discussion on Balla Disease (Group 2, Part 2)

This is likewise an "art" orchid that produced a "peak," except that its peak is symmetrical. This is my own work, and at the time it was collected from the wild asFour SeasonsOrchida new standard plum-petal variety, and it received the same attention as Figure 1 in the Group 2 discussion photos (a new wild-collected butterfly orchid); the two belovedorchidslived side by side, receiving the same care from me, and also in the spring of 1998, a miracle appeared: it actually produced "art" too!! Unfortunately, after producing "art," it sent up one new shoot, and after the new shoot's "peak art" became symmetrical, it could no longer send up any new shoots. The new did not come, and the strong gradually grew old. When I moved house this spring, I found this pot of flowers still in a corner; the difference was that all the leaves had withered and dried, and the pot and soil had become its burial goods...
