| Well, the buds are looking okay even after I dumped it taking my abominable pics last night. One should be opening very soon. I think I have been keeping it too dry. My phalaenopsis-type Dends like to dry out pretty good, and I was treating it like one of them. It does get to freezing here, but we are almost to spring (it's monsoon season ha ha). I figured once temps stabilized to 45 F and above, I would wean the wee one outside with the Cyms. The only problem I am having about it going outside is that it is in a 3" pot, and I don't know where to put it that it would be safe. Maybe I will just hang it and the Cym eburneum (it's in a 3" pot also probably not for long though) from the pot of my giant Cym Forty Niner hee hee. Probably not very esthetically pleasing, but that way I don't lose them.
Must be a sight to see the blanket of "kingies". I would love it. It does get hot here, in the hottest part of the summer temps hover from around 90-100 F + sometimes. I figure my son will be on misting detail this summer, he's really into the orchids (and zombie movies-go figure). He even has me watching an orange oncidium right now on e-bay for him. He's a huge Tennessee fan so it had to be orange "Go Vols" lol. Thanks so much for the help Kevin, you rock.
