That's so fun!! Hilarious! Lovey dubby (Usually taking an orchid pic is serious work.)
Soooo, it's drizzling here this AM and I am a bit wetter that the orchids having deadheaded for 2.5 hours. I even did some transplanting finally.
I decided to move them to the rest of the cyms and use 2 layers of shade cloth on that end. They have been in good light (quite a bit of west late afternoon direct that spills over the front of the north wall before the shade cloth drops at 3:30) but not real intense sun up till now. It worked so well on the big cyms last year. I just remove lots of burnt leaves in fall and the new growths and spikes come right in. I just was a chicken to do that to my mini cyms. So now that I did it, I hope to bloom these little buggers finally!!!
