Lovely start for the month, Ursula. Where did July go?
I have a new one that opened yesterday and every time I went out to take a pic, the skies would open.Vanda Jairak Heartthrob:
I got both Martin Motes' books and have been falling asleep over the Vanda book the last couple of nights. Oh, my! Have I ever been under-watering my poor Vandas! So interesting to note that the color of the roots tells you if they need water or not. The only time mine have been getting enough water is when it's rained and rained.
They still needed more water to turn the roots green even though we got a heavy rain shower last night after dark . . . and the humidity is palpable today.
Others to note, Yellow Birds turning yellow, one spike has no dots on the lip which is amazing considering they are all divisions of the same original plant.
Lady of the Night B. nodosa is perfuming the cage wonderfully at night. Another poor orchid that hasn't been getting enough water . . . ya live and learn, right?
