Hi again everyone. I have a Lc. Merry Song I just received in the last couple of weeks and it looked healthy. It came in spike with a flower that looked like it was about to open. I keep it at work so it may have been not as bright as it would have liked during the day on the weekends since the lights are off during the day, but it is sitting across the room from a window, which is already filled with other orchids. I do not have a humidity tray for it yet either, but that is next on my list to do. Anyways, back to my question....I came into work today and found that the bud was turning black and the sheath (name?) that was protecting it turned yucky black brown as well and the psuedobulb is a redblack, now more black, color as well. The plant didn't look sick when I got it. Any idea? It was shipped to me, so maybe it just took time for it to show the signs of stress from shipping? I am so disappointed, I was really looking forward to seeing it bloom!
