Sad to say my elephant ear died. The powdery mildew combined with the shock of the cold snap just put too much stress on her, I think.

In brighter news, I got a new plant today. An orchid! I’m taking name suggestions!

I too am sorry to hear about your elephant ear plant. I've been really tempted to get one of those recently. Congrats on the orchid, I love orchids and have 6 of them. When naming, you might want to consider that it's probably actually a white orchid that's been dyed blue, so any new flower spikes will likely produce white flowers. She is still beautiful though 😍 I called my white mini orchid "Luna"

Ooh, good to know! Thanks!

She’s so Blue! Smurfette comes to mind. 😇

Also, sorry for your loss!

Thank you, I was devastated, we’d gone through a lot together! I know she’s not suffering anymore, at least.

I believe that the orchid is died blue. The next bloom will probably be white. Enjoy the blue blooms while you can!

Maybe “Miss blue eyes”?!

Where does it come from? Does it just exist on new store bought plants?

#### Icarus님이 2026-02-14에 답변했습니다.

If you mean the orchid, yes, I just got her from Walmart.

#### SaintCrane님이 2026-02-20에 답변했습니다.

I meant the powdery mildew.

#### Icarus님이 2026-02-24에 답변했습니다.

Ah. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t know.
