Brassavola nodosa, leaves too red?

Thanks, it was a bagged one I got at Lowes along with teh Bc Kosh Wallis. I pit them on my windowsill. The sun was not too strong. One did fine and the other burned. Anyway I heard that March and April sun is the sun is closer to the earth than in the summer.

yah Stefpix i am currently doing the same thing! had to cut of some leaves the It was making 2 new growths when i put it outside and one of then halted and the other is very stunted! i will never bake it like i do my nodosa again. hope it survives my mistakes lol. Worst comes to worst it dies. i found another for 15 bucks mature size. Mine was under lights and then out to the sun.... bad idea i guess

I think the new growth is OK. I had found it at Lowes. for more or less the same price.
