Lol. I do that too! The problem is, it seems that the more you look at the buds, the longer it takes for them to actually open! And sometimes you think the bud is the right size to bloom, yet it still has weeks of growing to do.
Buds drive me nuts, I can't stand the suspense sometimes!

I have to share my excitement with you, though.....one of my orchids (my Zygoneria Adelaide Meadows in S/H) has buds on it for the first time.....first time buds for me on ANY of my orchids!

I just noticed it this morn. at breakfast. It's a Lowe's "bag-baby", by the way. I know my lil buds are small and certainly not even blooms yet.....but more encouragement than I've had so far in my less than a year of growing. Ok, give me the negatives.....what are the chances they make it to bloom stage? No worries.....you won't burst my bubble. Thoughts, please.

Well, that's my news for today. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for your reply,
