So far, all of them have grown spikes, with lovely blooms. My ochids are placed in a southeast facing sunroom, where the night time temperature does not fall below 60 degrees, but the daytime varies between 65-80. I recently purchased a Vanda Pachara Delight in full bloom, 6 weeks ago. I am looking for guidance as to how long the blooms generally last, but more importantly, what are the signs that my plant might not be taking to its new environment? Any guidance or information would be greatly appreciated. ]]> Orchid Basics Steve419 http://www.aosforum.org/forum//showthread.php?t=4231 Cypripedium parviflorum http://www.aosforum.org/forum//showthread.php?t=4230&goto=newpost Fri, 04 May 2012 07:45:46 GMT I was relieved to see that at least some of the cyps are going to bloom, since we've had really crazy weather. Four growths on this one, three with flowers, each of which has a shape issue. The close-up is of the middle flower which has the best overall shape, minus the warts. Last year's two flowers were perfect, but again, I'm just glad to see them at all this year. An advantage of growing these in pots in the ground outdoors is that I can lift them out when in bloom (or anytime, really) to photograph them or take them to meetings or shows. These grow in a raised be in the back yard all year in a mix prescribed by the guy I got them from, which is mostly granite grit!

This is a first blooming of a division I acquired a little over a year ago. I am growing it mounted with high light, intermediate, misted heavily once daily.
