Ugh..There is a bug chomping on my orchid bloom making holes about as wide as a pin head. Is it safe to spray the bloom and buds with Safer or will it mess up the bud and bloom--perhaps even more than the insect did? These are growing outdoors. Any suggestions? I am hoping to bring to orchid meeting. The bud "promised" to open by then. Thank!!!!
Here's a close-up of the damage followed by a photo of the bloom and bud.
