Went to my first show (at Atlanta Botanical Gardens). Said I was going to buy no more than two new babies.
Had to get some supplies -- pots, medium, pot hangers. I needed to talk to some knowledgeable people about a rescued
, stressed oncidium (Sharry Baby) and a soggy Den. Phal. (unknown). That was all!
Two and a half hours later (and poorer), I have the following:
- Brassavola Little Stars
- C. Blc. Toshie Aokie X Lc. Hawaiian Flare
- Oncidium Twinkle (white and peach)
- C. Sc Tokyo Magic '6-1' X Rsc. Toshie Aokie 'Pizazz'
- Ph. equestris alba X violacea
I explained to all that I spoke with that I had a flourescent-lit plant stand, water-filled pebble trays (and little experience or sense
)
Now, I am concerned (after more reading) that my Cattleyas will not like my lamp that I leave on for security at night. I've read that some require total darkness. Can anyone tell me if the Cats above can tolerate a lamp about 20 feet away?
My first orchid show. I've been bad. Vaawee, bad. Now need help.
