Not lucky with orchids but did try about 10 years ago. Now mostly Traders Joes phals. Then I did a bit more research on that lady slipper that so often was in my hands & wheeled around just to be put back.
Most recently a huge purple lady slipper got put back for a purple whatever its called.
Then I wanted a lady slipper & haunted trader joes for weeks. Even left my number but they never called me & never saw one again. Guess thats the last 4 or 5 months so maybe its not there bloom time?
Anyway so I looked on ebay & found one I liked in April then I got sick & was in bed with a fever & everything & someone else got it. I liked the lighter leaves...
So took a while but saw a similar one with a hopefully shippable bud & it got here bud intact.
Trouble started in a few days its bottom leaf got brown spots & then the leaf above that.
Could have been bad so I cut the leaves sprayed with phystan 2o & coated the ends of the cut leafs in cinnamon.
Luckily it seems to have stopped & seller says it happens after shipping sometime?
I wanted to postlast week but my account got caught in the spam filter...
Now the bud is opening & its amazing!!!!!
