I have moved mine outdoors because the conditions now seem ideal - hot, humid and breezy - with quite a large diurnal temperature range. I will keep a watch to see if it "works". My other orchids love it, especially the bl yellow Bird, a Lowes rescue that may just bloom....

My orchids love it outside too. My cernua is out there with all its friends!

Not much from mine. The new lead is still growing but the old roots have gone dead on me. It's not sulking so I assume it's doing ok.

Well does it still have its new roots?

I discovered a 3rd growth. I can't believe I had missed it before. The other two are growing nicely.

Not many. I'd say there is about 1/2" of good root growth. It was doing great and then in a weekend went from good to bad. The new lead is still progressing good so its obviously getting the nutrients it wants/needs.

Looks like everyones plants are doing great!

My plant has started opening it leaf, and if I didnt know better Id say it has a flower coming in too!

Looks great 31drew31! Your plant looks ahead of everyone else's. Is that an actual bud or a sheath type thing? If it's not a bud I don't know if it will bloom. All my plants have had buds developed when the leaf opens. Sometimes they have a second smaller leaf that kind of looks like a sheath at first. Here is a pic of one of my plants in February. This is a little bit after the leaf opened so one bud is all the way open. But when the leaf opened it had two little buds inside. I hope you get flowers though!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1346204783.440529.jpg

Thanks Wynn Dee. I think you are probably right but time will tell, it only starts opening today. There's no color at all other than green so its probably not a flower. Oh well.
