The worst of the winter is over (I hope), but I probably wouldn't mail order until at least the middle of mark. With my luck, the plant would be delivered at 8am while I'm at work and would sit all day outside. Of course, given a 60 hour heat pack it might survive. Right now the weather in NY has been in the 30's-40's.
I think I need something compact, is the orange delight compact at all? I suppose I could look it up. I've heard Brassia's are hard to get to bloom, which I'm now worried since I own one! Or is Brsda's in a different , um, family(?) I still don't have genre, family, hybrid, mericlones, species figured out. I just know d\sometimes I assume a type of orchid belongs with a similar plant, and it has *nothing* to do with it. I have no idea if I am making any sense now. After a week off from work and going back, my mind is a little frazzled.

I just looked up the orange delight. I love it but it was hard enough getting one spider palnt in the house with my boyfriend lol. He likes my orchids, but he says the spider ones freak him out. I guess he has a touch of arachnaphobia.
