I think that "dry" is attached to "rest" by default in orchid parlance. A
reduction or stoppage in fertilization can be a 'rest", as well.

This is growing & blooming in Ray's semi hydro. Really against all odds.
Full of algae, a little fern
& this species supposedly needs a dry rest?
Also the other divisions of this are not blooming, go figure?
