Rain affects Orchid blooms 1

[drneil...@yahoo.com]

Hi,  Was at my farm at Shahapur on Sunday. The truant monsoon has resulted in sporadic [rather than mass flowering] of the Common Foxtail Orchid [Rhynchostylis retusa]  The blooms [photographs 1 & 2] also do not appear as luxuriant as in previous years [photograph 3].                With regards,                   Neil Soares.
