Wal-Mart Dendrobium...can you believe I think it has a virus???
Comments (23)Hort, who are these professionals? You will be hard pressed to find them. I've been trying to grow things for 37 years and still plants cark it. That is why we need an orchid forum. Sometimes you will find in posts little hints that make a difference. Anyway, it all comes down to conditions, conditions, conditions. Your Wal-Mart Dendrobium is probably a hard-cane, i've got about thirty of them and not many people grow them around these parts because they are considered "Difficult" . As for the disease, your plant is just showing what happens when conditions do not suit. I had one that grew too big, thought i would trial it outside a glasshouse and put it in a sheltered position of the front porch, sheltered position, morning sun. It declined! Moved it to my shadehouse. It declined more and then died. Your plant has declined to such a point that perhaps you should discard it and start off with a new one. These are the "weeds" of Florida, Hawaii, Queensland, Australia. They like moderate humidity, warmth, even watering, though slightly less in winter and sunlight filtered by some like shade-cloth. How can i tell you how to grow them seeing my total orchid experience is here? That is the real problem with orchid growing, you have to do some research and follow that up with some interpretation in relating what you read to your growing place(s). Even then many you try will just die....See MoreLovely local nursery, gorgeous mislabeled roses
Comments (13)Quite a few years back I went to a fairly good nursery in Maine with long rows of roses in pots and every single one mislabeled. I went down the row, telling the employee what the proper name was but she wasn't taking notes - just saying she wished the manager was there. Well, he/she wasn't and do you think they changed the tags? Not very likely. Not their fault that the wholesaler had sold them a bunch of mislabeled roses but tough on the customers who didn't realize what they were getting. Pompon de Bourgogne was labeled Charles de Mills, which gives you an idea of the scope of the problem....See MoreRescued from K-mart - Reine des Violettes
Comments (3)Saved a Morden Blush today from a local nursery (appeared it had not seen a drop of water in weeks!) couldn't believe I purchased it right in the middle of fighting what I think is a BS outbreak in my rose garden. I do have 2 Reine des Violettes. It is their 4th season in the garden. They are both doing very well and do not show one sign of any BS! Both have several buds coming on, leaves are nice and healthy, canes looking good too. My books show it as an OGR hybrid perpetual. Nice Save!

Comments (16)I'm Delighted With My Double Delight... She's showing me her true colors this year, pun intended...lol Yes, she still gets blackspot but as long as I keep spraying, she doesn't give me too much grief. I just love her look and the scent of the blooms are to die for. The plant doesn't grow leggy like some other ones and the height is right where I want it so I don't need a ladder to get a whiff of her sweetm spicy smelling blooms. I can see why this rose is a winner of many awards:)...See Moremodestgoddess z6 OH
