Song of the Orchid or....

[DebsC]

Do you play music in your greenhouse or growing area for your orchids? What kind? What's your opinion on the effect it has on them?

I do play a radio 24/7 in my greenhouse mostly because the radio is covered with a Wal*Mart bag to keep the moisture out. It's not so easy to reach in and find the power button. So I leave it on.

For the above mentioned reason, it stays on the same "Oldies" station all the time. I figure I'm an oldie, comparatively speaking of course, I don't really think a person should be considered old til they approach the century mark. (my kids disagree ) And I collect mostly Oldie catts.

I do think the 'girls' enjoy their music but I don't have any proof of this.

I do know there is a crowd around the greenhouse every night. A small herd of deer (10) lay close by. If the radio is real low, the deer move closer and if it's loud, which it sometimes gets very loud all on it's own, the deer move further away.

So, how about you? Got tunes?
