Natural Flower Death?

[puddin]

It's manatees at the Columbus Zoo. I got a picture of them and wanted to use it for my avatar. I went a little less that a week ago. If the picture was bigger, you could really see them. They were something to watch, I don't know how to describe it. I could have watched them all day.

I never mist the leaves on Brassias or Oncidium class orchids. I find it often leads to leaf spotting (brown flecks or blotches).

Well, they don't really seem like they "need" misting, so I'll just stick with what I've been up to. There are 4 flowers dying now. So sad to see them go. But that new spike is growing really fast, so that's good.

My limited experience with Brassias is that the blossoms aren't long lasting like, say Phals. But they are really worth the effort (in my opinion.) Let them die a natural death and look forward to the next spike!
