orchid bloom problem
I receive a lovely orchid with many blooms as a sympathy gift about two weeks ago; but have been distressed to watch the blooms first wilt and now drying out, despite numerous calls to the garden center who delivered it for advice and following same. I've looked up websites for help as well but to no avail. Is this the usual course of the flowering? It appears they are almost lost, and was looking forward to enjoying them. I have been taking pictures and will try to forward them via text if there is a way I can do so. I'm not very technical otherwise. Thank you for your attention.

Educational poster
Can I get information on the oyster or anything relevant to the Bay for my Master Naturalist booth? We go to various events on the Eastern Shore hoping to interest people, especially children, to care about the Bay and what it provides to their lives.

Trying to confirm if dying pine trees can be saved
I have 5 mature pine trees approx. 20 feet high in my back yard that have increasingly turned brown over the past 2 years and lost a lot of branches. I'd like to have an expert look at them to determine if they can be saved and if so, how. Please see the attached pics and notice after heavy winds, how the yard fills with branches. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Brent Betts

Questioning various soil additives, Are they necessary or even desirable?
One of our local garden gurus has recommended a number of different soil additives to make your garden perform optimally. Sugar. dried molasses, biochar and various low level organic fertilizers are all endorsed in varying amounts. To follow his recipe would prove fairly costly. Scientifically speaking, how many of these additives have merit, and what could be construed as snakeoil? Are there any reliable references to sort them out? Thank You! I work at a local garden center , and we get requests for the oddest things.

Herbs
my city forbids me from growing my own medicine . Like anise hyssop, nettle, yarrow, fever few, elecampane, and a few others. Non of which are on the destroy list. But are considered weeds by the city. They say I have no authority to grow my own medicine. Matter of fact the hired someone to cut it all down and then charged me. What should be my next step. If I want to grow these again. My neighbors don't like weeds. That's why the city was called. But because its anonymous I don't know who I could educate to let them know there not just weeds.

Koi and goldfish from a garden pond
We have a small pond in our back patio. There are several adult koi a nd goldfish and about 20 babies from last summer. This afternoon I intended to clean the pump and when I brought it up I noticed 4 babies have recently died. 2 kois and 2 fan tailed goldfish. Is it possible to have them examined to find out the cause of death ? Two other babies have died early December.
