Outdoor orchid's have nightmares of deer.
I have had my run ins with snails, slugs, mealy bugs and spider mites. Nothing compares to deer though, when they will eat an entire season's growth and then some, in one evening. They seem to be particularly fond of my Dendrobium kingianum and the miniature Cymbidiums. Does anyone else have to deal with deer eating their outdoor orchids? Is there any way to deter them, or will I just have to plan accordingly and mount the orchids higher in trees?
