Under the colusia

What do you call a group of orchids? a murder? a pod?

Too lazy to look up and list all here are a few hanging under the colusia; bulbophyllum faschnator, leptotes pohlitinocoi, brassavola nodosa, etc. Colusia is a great potted plant for the terrace that gets direct sun. It can take a beating, if you keep it hydrated. 

Oncidium zelenkoanum
Purchased from Andy's Orchids, they arrived looking like they had been buried in the back of the greenhouse. Leaves weren't clean, there was a little black spot. I water, the wind and the dappled sun dries. If there's anything that will bring these bitches back to 100% it will be dappled sun at various times during the day and a near constant breeze around the plant to keep leaves and exposed pseudobulbs dry.

I've bought from him before and the plants have been beautiful, not sure what happened here..

December

Heading toward the winter solstice.
