    Question 2 orchids need your expertise.

    The orchids i received from Wisconsin about a week ago.

    The first is a Miltassia. it came bare root, the bulbs were shriveled,the leaves were healthy, so i gave it a good soaking in plain water before I planted it in a standard medium.Now the leaves are spotted and orange!

    The second came in the same box, the sender said it was at least 13 years old and has not bloomed for nearly 10 years. The original bark is very old and dry. Can you identify the orchid? When i received it I also gave it a good soaking in water and have been misting it daily. What do you suggest as a mount or pot/ I think the top of the plant is salvageable, it has about 6 bulbs with leaves.
