Weng wrote 'Apple Green' and I have heard the correct green described
many times but 'Apple Green' is best. I have on occasion bought a
Granny Smith apple just to gauge my plant's color as that has been hard
for me to visualize. I sneak around when making the color test as it
would look strange holding out an apple to an orchid but it shows me I
still don't have them in enough light!

Do you all think it is too late in the season to move them to more

Many orchids in the wild get more light in Winter because the trees
overhead shed their leaves. But as it is cooler, their leaves can
tolerate more light without burning. So give them more light all year
round.

I recall a talk by Eric Christenson in which he describes the phrags he
saw in full sun. Whilst I wouldn't go that far with cultivated phrags,
mine get more light than my cattleyas. The leaves should be an apple
green.
