man, you are so awesome!!! thanks for responding so quickly!!! i figured i was just over-reacting... and that it wasn't a huge deal..

ummm but i do have a question though.. you mentioned the leaves in the two pics i posted are almost the ideal shade of green (aside from the slight yellowing)... well, my older orchids have a much more deep emerald green color to the leaves... the new leaves they're putting out are more of a spring green...

do the older leaves just naturally take on a darker green appearance as the plant ages?? or is that an indication that those plants are not getting enough light?? by all other indications (number of blooms/buds/new growth/roots) the darker green leaved orchids seem to be happy...

i just want to be sure the lighting is optimal for healthy growth...

thanks again!! you're the man, man!!
