Lugged all the vandas back out and watered everyone. In what I suppose is good news, most of the rat poison has been eaten. I'll have to get Dad to refill it. I also have a surprise cattleya that's about to bloom. I knew I had a couple sheaths, but nothing looked ready to bloom and then they go and surprise you. And if the rat gets this one I will be so mad. Hopefully, they're all dead by now.
I took a picture of V. Pachara Delight just because I thought the shape and the color looked really good today.
I found this weird mix of stuff that looked like old fur mixed with some leaves and such and thought maybe the rat had been gathering nesting materials? I should have taken a picture but I forgot. It was in one of my cattleyas which I thought was weird. Anyway, while I was inspecting it, I checked out my smaller orchids which I have clustered in one corner of the shade house. Turns out, one was blooming!
Ok, it only has two flowers and last time it bloomed it only had four. But they're still blooms, darn it! They also smell good! Here's Onc. Tsiku Marguerite.
