At the office, there is someone who is mad about African Violets and had been putting pots of them over all the office window ledges.  This person left after seven years with the organisation. She did not venture out of the center, neither did she advance to other departments within the center. My unverified suspicion is that because the office has fantastic sun and good tempreture and humidity for her plants, she feels that if she looses this place, her plants would have to return to the darkness of the flat. Like me. I've recently transported the phal home and in its place, brought one of the mini dens to the office. They use to occupy a space on my table but now I've hidden them in the small space between the blinds and the glass windows. The sun is  full in the day yet the tempreture isn't too warm (I hope). At night, they get the neccessary darkness to rest.
 
This could be the solution to the problem I'm having with the lack of good location for my cattleyas. A week ago, I received a letter of complaint from the property manager of my town council. The letter insinuated I haven't been considerate and am a pest to society for having a metal bracket on the parapet wall that might fall and break the head of a blameless soul. I feel so wronged! The metal bracket has no detachable parts that could possibly drop off. My plants could fall over but only in a typhoon. It's just too troublesome to have to figure out another place because I despair all over again about the lack of sunlight in my home.
