new around here

[orchidwild]

Thanks Ang! This was purchased for me as a gift. It was grown by a local orchid-growing business here in Colorado, so I'm hoping that (a) we have enough light here and (b) it's not too low in humidity. It's potted in large wood chips--I can't see any moss or anything else other than some perlite. I have lots of questions but maybe there's a page that will answer many of them? Like, how do you tell whether or not another spike is coming? I notice that most of the lower parts of the leaf clusters are wrinkled but the one that just bloomed is plump and smooth.
