If that were true about orchids there's be no cut flower industry, and
Taiwan would be bust.

Best figure out what you did, Kath! There was an article recently in one
of the newsletters posted on the AOS forum about allelopathy in orchids.
It had to do with surrounding plants that inhibit flowering. I'll try to
find it again. Very interesting, and could be a reason why some of our
orchids act like drones.

I make no claims as to the correctness of the name. Its just what was on
the tag. This is the one that bloomed for me after 10 years. Maybe
becasue I've been taking care of it. Maybe because I finally let it get
cold in the winter.
