Couldn’t resist this:
Appologies for the slight striped and grained piccie above, but this was taken through the window *and* a flynet and for that it is very well, I think.
When I got outside to repeat the piccie without obstacles between me and the butterfly, it had already fluttered on.
I have a phals named moon glow valley, it was a valeetinns present and there was a full moon. Anyway I have had her for about 2 years, and neever had any problems getting her to rebloom. This year she has a white sticky type fungus under the leaves, on the stems, on the buds, and flowers. The flowers are dropping way to early. I have reseached and can’t find anything relating to this. I have 3 more orchids that aren’t in bloom showing the same gunk? Please helpDesperate
Did you check the white stuff closely? It might be mealybugs. http://www.aos.org/Default.aspx?id=511
I really hope for your plants that you have a different problem, because they are hard to get rid of…
