I'm curious as to why forcing the plant to bloom would make it drop leaves. Is this what you mean by "forced," as in manipulating temperature? Does this cause problems for plants?

I'm relatively new to orchids, but I'm proud to say I have managed to re-bloom several Phals. While I'm happy to have blooms at all, I noticed that the spikes didn't grow as long as they were when I...

Question: Ascocentrum garayi and miniatum

Are Ascocentrum garayi and miniatum synonyms? I've seen these referred to as two separate species, or miniatum var. garayi, but they look identical to me.
