Water droplets inside Phrag bloom -is this normal?

Paph_LdyMacBeth · Mar 30, 2010

I have a Phrag Red Lightning (sargentianum x warscewiczianum) that is in bud and ready to open soon.
I've noticed that inside the bud there are droplets. I've never seen this before and I don't know if its cause for concern. I know this kind of thing can be a problem with Catts.
Should I take any action? or just let it be?

thanks,
C

be careful when watering!?

I don't remember seeing that before. It will be interesting to see what happens to the water as the bud opens.

I would let it be - while those look larger than what I've had, I've always had a little condensation in my long petaled phrags when they were at that stage.

I noticed droplets inside the bud of my Phrags bloom too. No damage upon opening.

Thanks for you're guidance. I have had few long petal Phrags bloom out, and obviously haven't looked very closely.
All turned out OK!!!
