I'm soo frustrated, Bulb dearei aborted bloom.
My Bulb. dearei, which has been in bud all month long, and the bud was growing and growing and growing, and finally I thought it was about to bloom a few days ago. Then I walked in this morning to find that the peduncle, the flower stalk, was rotted!! ROTTED!!!   
What the heck happened! What did I do wrong? I have not changed condition in the vivarium, water in the morning, dries out at night. I just don't understand. And this was the first bloom for this orchid since I got it.
