    Light levels by foot candles

    Light levels by foot candles

    Oh I’ve been there! I asked my husband to take care of the orchids and the roses for a well. Wrote everything out, color coded the various orchids. It seemed foolproof. Anyway, when I got home the roses were bone dry and the orchids were swimming in six inches of water . Thank goodness I...

    Bulbophyllum medusae

    The blooms are just magical! I picked one up last March at our local show, but it hasn’t bloomed yet. I don’t really know enough about them to guess when it might bloom. But after seeing @MyGreenPets’ Medusa in bloom, I grabbed one while I had the opportunity.
