Izzie - I have had blooming cyms inside in very low light for the duration of blooming and haven't had problems with that.

Awesome, thanks Sonya! I've moved it to a slightly brighter location where it can still be on display, because I noticed that the flowers that have opened since I got it have been much duller than those already open.

[QUOTE=help;360453] Some say epiphytic orchids are parasite, for living on trees. I say orchids are parasites for luring us humans to take them into our homes to feed and care for them. much more care than they would get in the wild....

Have you ever read "The Botany of Desire" by Michael Pollan? His thesis is that we think we are using the plants, but they are using us just as much. Same thing with dogs and cats! They get us to feed them, breed them, house them and clothe- uh no, they come with their own clothes.

haha! no, i havent read that one. sounds like a good read. another good book, mystery fiction, is Nero Wolfe the black orchid. ( i know no such thing exists, that we know of ) but its about this collector/P.I. it was written by rex stout.

Connie, I believe you and I have talked about Botany of Desire before on here, it's one of my favorite books. Michael Pollan rocks!
