A funny thing about the stake, Cathy. For some reason this orchid attracted ants when it was in bud. The buds were covered with ants. The only thing I could think of was to put vasaline on the flower spike. The next day it was still covered with ants. They were crawling up the stake and crossing the tie to the flower buds. So I put vasaline on the stakes too and then there were no more ants.
