I'm so ticked I could spit! Four plants blasted their spikes this week.
Nowhere near each other, not sick, no bugs, no excuse. One was a bargain
Phal that I bought in spike, so I'll live through it until next year. One
was an Enc. randii that I've been waiting for with great anticipation.
One
day a spike, the next day a brown stalk. And just to add insult to
injury,
a large V. Rev. Masao Yamada had three fat spikes on it, and all three are
toast.

And, out of 150 orchids, it's going to be a chore to find enough in bloom
to
do a little table top display for our local show next week.

Could it all be leftover stress from the rotten up and down winter we had
down here?
