update

[VickiC]

Oops! I still haven't found out how to update a thread.

I just wanted to update my old thread "MORE buds", but I did it wrong. I found my "MORE buds" thread then I clicked "reply". Will someone please tell me the correct way to do it?

This should have been today's update:

Hi,
My Bc. Little Marmaid 'Janet' bloomed today! My 2nd plant to bloom! Well, actually one of the two buds opened. (pic. attached)

I know you won't laugh at me.....you promised.....I have a question, please: Should I wait for the 2nd bud to open before I take it from my orchid room where it lives to a different room inside the house to enjoy while it's blooming? I don't want my only other bloom to blast from the move and the light change, of course. Advice, please?

Thanks in advance,
Vicki

Since I still haven't learned the correct way to update an old post, I just copied and pasted it at the bottom of this one....just for the heck of it.

Now, I have a question, please. My Bc. Little Marmaid 'Janet' stays in my orchid room and generally nobody but me goes there (I only sat it on the kitchen table for the pic.). Should I continue to leave it in the room where it stays.....or would it get upset (and may not bloom), if I move it to the kitchen table where it would get approx. 1000 fc from an overhead plant light .....less than the amount it's getting in my orchid room. ??? I will place it wherever you advise. (oops....I forgot to post photos)
Thanks for reading.....and I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

My old thread:
Hi everyone,
First of all, those of you who are "professional" orchid growers.....and even those of you who are "semi-professional" please try not to laugh at me because I can't help it. 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.
