Caught the orchid bug

Very cool that they are a year round bloomer. I hate buying mounted orchids for that reason, but sometimes it's the only way to get some species. It may have wilted because it was bone chilling cold when you got them. I know it has been here, and since you're north of me, i can safely assume you had the same weather?

Come to think of it the weather was really cold, I am surprised they made it in such good condition. They were not even wilted except the one flower.

the weather was the reason i told the supplier i went through to ship me ones that were pre-spike. he sent one that was in spike, and now she's starting to grow new buds. it should bloom in a few weeks
