Aw, Bob, I feel your pain. I've learned the hard way to always hold onto the phal if I turn it over. Perhaps you're one of the lucky ones and it will grace you with another inflorescence.

Ryan's use of a straw is briliiant. And, I think I read somewhere that Peter Lin uses his wife's hair dryer to blow out water from the crowns of his giganteas.

What we do for our orchids.

Just did that myself the other day. Argh.

What a shame I hate it when I do something like that. I dropped a Leptotes unicolor that was in bud recently and the bud was knocked off

that stinks!

i but the broken part of the spike in a vase of water, and the buds look like they are growing, but i may be seeing things :P

I use the paper towel method also. I stick the corner in the crown and it absorbs the water. That way I don't even have to touch the pot or the orchid. Good luck.
