Well, I have good news and bad news. Good news is, one of my cattleya orchids has two clusters of buds on it so I should have some pics to share soon. Bad news is, Dad was pressure washing the house and apparently moved some of my orchids that were by my window (they were in quarantine). He must have set them out in the sun because they now all have severe sunburns. Like, every leaf of the plant kind of sunburns! I'm so mad at him!
But more good news is that it seems like I finally have the black rot problem under control. Only the ones that were already infected are still showing signs and I set them apart from my other plants a while ago. Bad news is, it looks like I'm going to lose two of them. But I guess that's better than it spreading to my whole collection.
