Thanks undergrounder - so you think underneath my deck is not the best place for them over summer? By overkill do you mean too hot or too sunny for them? The deck does have the shadecloth that we put down in summer so I was thinking that would help.
I'm really not sure what that big tall spindly one was and since I've had it, it had leaves and then they all came off so I was thinking that I killed it. Maybe its the kind of plant it is?
Another question - when do orchids normally flower? I can see that one of the dendrobiums I have is in flower now and the cymbidium looks like it has a spike so is Spring the time for flowers?
