    This is one of my newest additions. Needs repotting and I bought yesterday basket, but I don't know if is a good time as it's in bud now? Should I wait?!

    I would wait to repot until after the blooms. That bud is pretty far along already. It would be a shame to break it by accident.

    Cheers,

    Isn't the anticipation wonderful? Molly Taco told me once that the anticipation of a bloom is the best part of growing orchids and I think she's right - until the bloom opens!
