Thanks Carolyn, you've given me and my Drac new hope. As for my Phaph, it's
already lost. Went to Florida for spring break(even made it to the AOS in
Delray Beach) When I got back I found that the person I had charged with
tending my orchid had done nothing to it in nearly nine days. I tried to
save it, but being at best a novice grower, it was too much of a challenge
or too far gone, one of those atleast...It died.

But on all other orchids, I've met with modest success, except this dracula.
I shall do as you say and arrange it for more light. BTW, you Drac looks
amazing. Do you keep it in that container and showercap for moisture. If
so, I might consider something similar but I should think it would have an
air circulation problem...

It was just watered recently and I'm afraid another leaf will die. I can
see a small new growth that is poking up and that looks a little promising
or ominous... But I will open the windows, kick on the fan and see what
happens.

Thanks again.
