Thanks to Susan for she was the only one who tried to help, and .......
I thought this was a good place to ask for help from those who know a
lot more and have a lot more experience than I. Actually being a newbie
and never having posted here before I was a little apprehensive about it
and at the time I was thinking that the only decent window I have for
orchids is a NW window but not for late summer, but for winter and
spring. The plants are in a NE Window. So what, I made a mistake. Is
that any reason for you to ignore the rest of the question and make
remarks that are I guess supposed to be funny or making fun of me? A
little fun is always great except at someone else's expense and calling
attention to someone's mistake by poking fun at them in public is never
in good taste here or anywhere. Perhaps you might consider having a
little compassion and kindness for those of us who make mistakes and
don't have the same knowledge or abilities as yourself.

Alana, you ask what ever you want and don't be afraid to do so. I read
your post and my conditions are so different, there just wasn't much I
could help with. I can't really relate to temperatures in the 90s. The
few things I might have commented on were already covered nicely in
Susan's post.
When K.... noticed the little "mistake" I sort of laughed at myself for
not noticing that. I laughed even harder at myself when it occurred to
me that maybe you were in Australia. (Where are you from anyway?
Obviously not Australia because it's winter there.) Of course North and
South might seem to be switched in Australia but not East and West...the
earth still rotates in the same direction. With that in mind, I answered
the reply and not your original post. I expected you to come back and
explain the discrepancy but I didn't expect you to feel hurt by such a
casual comment. Any way, I certainly didn't ignore the rest of your
question because I thought you made a mistake.

One bit of advice about this group, which you can take or ignore... Some
people post long multi-part questions and some ask short, 2 or 3 line
questions that get right to the point. (I have a hard time getting to
the point in my posts.) My observation after reading this group for
years is that the short questions get read by more people and get lots
more answers.
