Hello! It's been awhile since I've been in the orchids forum, but I still somehow have all my orchids. My first orchid I asked about on here, did drop all its buds, but it is now producing what I believe to be a new, uh, bloom stalk? I can't remember what it's called on orchids. My grandmother gave me her orchid that she had 3 feet from a west facing window, covered by a huge porch, and 80 foot spruce trees. She also put it outside in 3 hours of direct SE sun, and left it out when we had a light frost. Needless to say, that one has been through a lot. It never bloomed for her or me, but it is producing new leaves! All my phals are on my deck now under an overhang, protected by a piece of fabric that baffles the sunlight. The pictures were taken in the direct sun to expose them the best I could, but they were only in it for about a minute. The burns on the leaves of the larger phal, were there when I got it. Will the larger, burned phal continue to pull through? Is my phal in the terra cotta about to bloom? Thanks in advance!
