Dud Bud
Hello, What is it called when the bud suddenly turns yellow or black and
does not open even though you can see a potential flower inside. I had this happen on several of my Cats. Thanks for any help. M.A |

I don't know what it's called, but if you can see buds inside of a sheath
that is yellowing, remove the sheath immediately, or rot will set in that turns it black and kills the buds. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

In my hands, the reason why the sheath yellows or blackens is because a
change in the growing zone. Either I do not water, or water too much or let water stand on the plants ( called 'sending them to bed with wet feet') or I forget to turn on the heater and they freeze, or vice versa. So you can see there is a variety of factors in this senescence. What most folks do is slit ot tear open the sheath so any moisture trapped inside the sheath can evaporate an not affect the developing buds (that you can see inside.) This leads to yet another problem, which is letting water stand in the sheath. So be careful watering when/if you do this not to get water inside the sheath, or to cut the sheath down one side so water won't collect in it. The sheath is still needed to protect the developing buds from the accidental bump. So don't tear it away completely. Getting to be more consistent in your culture practices will reduce this occurance. That isn't always easy to do either, but is is something to strive for, grasshopper. K Barrett "M.

Then, OTOH, I have a Catt that will not show its flowers unless the sheaths
are allowed to first turn gray and dry. Basically I agree with Ray and Kathy, but there's your exception for you. Diana |
