Ursula, thanks about the Aerangis. Two spikes to go.

Regarding growing environments...though my orchid room was built twenty years ago, it has not housed orchids until the last three. There's been a learning curve in the space and with the outdoor shift too. Before we moved here my orchids were in a 200 s.f. attached greenhouse. After we moved they went under lights while awaiting the completion of their space. Two years and two contractors later the orchids were mostly dead. After a few years I started collecting again and then we had an ice storm and five day power outage in February. Everything died except Cymbidiums and one Cattleya aurantiaca. Couldn't bring myself to start again until a few years ago.
