cochleanthes amazonica new bud :-)
I don't know if any of you recall that in late November I mail ordered a
cochleanthes amazonica, that came with five buds, and then proceeded to bud blast and lost all of them. :-( Well, I am very happy to report that today morning while watering it I have discovered one new bud. Yay! :-) Since it is now on a regular watering schedule, and its environment is not changing, I have hopes that this time the bud will actually yield my first cochleanthes flower. Just wanted to share the happy news. Joanna |

Joanna Hi Joanna, The best is yet to come !!! cochleanthes usually make a bud every 2 months or so-- (on a good sized plant{full 3" pot & up)) Doesn't want to be "overpotted" prefers rootbound. Good Luck, Bill |

Bill,
I will need all the luck wishes I can get with this cochleanthes, I fear. The bud that I so happily reported on in the message you responded to has blasted in the meantime as well :-( My theory on why it happened is that water may have accidentally gotten on the bud during watering (at least that is one possibility) -- those peduncles are so close to the pot at least at the beginning. In the meantime another bud has appeared, and I am now exceedingly careful to not let water get on the bud, I got a new watering can with a better snout, and I am trying to be more consistent about having the humidifier on, since low humidity is my second theory on what could have caused the bud blast. Anyway I am keeping my fingers crossed that this bud that is currently looking pretty healthy will actually make it to flowerhood. Joanna "William Hill" wrote in message om...
