    Default Why are my spikes blasting?

    Three spikes from different Vanda lamellata var remediosae, all blasted.
    Aside from recent change in weather, I have no idea of what's wrong...Too bad, because the blooms are so fragrant.

    A beauty! Weather changes and hence temperatures or humidity can play great havoc on spikes and flowers... thankfully there is next time...
