degarmoara bud blast

[leslee]

I have a winter wonderland that has spiked up beautifully, 3 spikes! It looks really healthy but the buds on one of the spikes are starting to blast- I've lost 2 so far. Could this be temperature related? I live in the pacific northwest, it is fall now and a lot less natural light coming in. I had all my oncidium alliance outside in the summer and they did really well, but now they are indoors and the fall light isn't great tho I do have incandescent light and they are near a large window. I am also wondering if being too near the window might be causing temperature change issues. I also have a colmanara that has blossomed on 2 spikes, but 2 more spikes are sulking and won't open.

any thoughts to get these buds open? I would hate to lose them all.
