Re: Rain and orchids

  Speaking of orchid blooms, I have a mature phalenopsis that doesn't 
know when to quit. It blooms non-stop, all year. Today, it has an 
actively blooming spike that has produced two branches, and I just 
noticed a completely new spike emerging. It won't even stop long 
enough for me to repot it.
