Dang nabbit....son of a oxalis!!!

You guys who ignore and mistreat Cymbidiums only to have them bloom for you
make be so mad! I care for mine and follow all the instructions only to
have one of six bloom. The one that bloomed is the least pretty of the
plants I have.

Good Growing,
Gene

(sorry for such language but life and orchid growing isn't fair....I'm going
to pout in my greenhouse)

I often let the local library borrow a Cymbidium or two while they are
in bloom. A few years ago, they decided to put one out on the back deck
after it was done flowering. After being in poor light for weeks, the
full sun really fried it! All I had left was leaf stubs about a foot tall.
The new growths grew right up and I don't think it had any trouble
blooming the next season.

I'm having a similar problem to previous postees. We live in Sydney,
Australia (in the middle of a drought) and after a particularly hot day

our cymbidiums leaves have got burnt. Some of the plants nearly had all
leaves burnt. Do the plants recover from this sort of treatment??
