i got these very recently, maybe late april since they were divided from large mother plants by my Fairy Orchid God Mother ()

this is the first bloom for me (three spikes at this point) and i am just hopefully watching them develop.

one odd thing is that this year the weather has been quite odd. hotter than normal and the rain has been weird too ( it is usually a shower at 3pm you can set your watch to) but the last few years it has changed.
this year was by far the strangest i can remember

And they say climate change is a hoax. I remember when I was a kid, we had a swimming pool. My birthday is on September 23, and I always wanted to have a pool party for my birthday, but it was always too cold. One year I finally got to have a pool party, but it was like 70 degrees, so we spent most of the time sitting by the pool wrapped in towels shivering. That was back in the early 90s. Now, in Oklahoma, it is more common than not for the temperatures to get up into the low 90s almost every day in September. We never had a 90 degree day in September in the early 90s. Never. And now, that's what you expect in September. It's going to be upwards of 90 degrees almost every day. It won't start cooling off until almost Halloween.
