Well my space race topaz gold orchid is happy as a clam. Since this photo it's opened up two and a half sprays of blooms with a fourth one not far behind. It should be flowering for about two months, plus it's already putting out new pseudobulbs. I love this little trooper!
However my wildcat isn't doing so well. I put it on the front porch but completely forgot to harden it off, that is, get it used to the sun and weather. I'm 90% sure it was shocked by the direct sunlight and badly sunburned. One of its leaves already fell off and a second one is on its way out. However its new pseudobulb is still coming in strong and green, so I'm hoping it will pull through this setback and bloom again next year. I haven't done well by this one, i only got one flower to open on one spike and now I've almost killed it!
