Doesn't "WAHLA" require a magic wand? Or am I thinking of "abracadabra"? Now I'm going to daydream about having a magic wand that would make an epiphyte magically appear on pretty much anything.

One Windowsill, I think that would be more than one step forward! Kinda like growing Rafflesia. KittieKAT, heh, no need to hack holes in the host.
