Yup, I bought a couple of orchids from Lindsay at that same time, and one died almost immediately of black rot (could have been caught here, of course, not Lindsay's fault) but the other sat and pouted, put up one bloom stalk last summer with 2 flowers, and is now slowly dying of something involving yellow leaves. Nothing I've done has helped it at all, and believe me, I'm with Kate on the 'experimentation' mind set. I love to try remedies. I'm also very patient most of the time, but . . .. geez, orchids really can try the patience of a saint.
Come to think of it, I have not tried the diluted Hydrogen Peroxide douse on that orchid . . . maybe as a last resort, I should! It worked on the fusarium infection on a couple of my brugs.
