I would definitely need plenty of patience! In the meantime I should get more orchids to keep myself from becoming impatient! :)

I certainly hope I'll be able to bring these up successfully.

I've read in a book that you are supposed to withhold fertilizing while the plant is developing buds as it could also cause the blooms to drop early? Has anyone read or heard the same? I don't know...
