Orchids R in season....or not!
All,
Here's a topic for discussion, hopefully. Have any of you seen variables in the blooming seasons for some of your orchids? I'm not talking about a plant or two, but many of them. Since the storms of 2004, it seems to me that lots of our plants have decided to bloom *out of season*. I can understand that for last year, as the plants underwent a load of stress the year before. But we didn't have any significant storm activity in this area last year, and yet the plants are still off kilter. An example: C. aurantiaca bloomed profusely in March. Now it has a viable sheath coming on new growth. Another C. aurantiaca, acquired after the '04 storms, also bloomed in March, is growing nicely, and shows no sign of blooming again. There are others; that's just one instance. The plants are healthy. Could this be because of the hurricane activity 2 years ago, or is something else at work? Anyone else experiencing this? BTW, I'll take flowers whenever they wish to grace us with their presence. Just curious. Diana |
