    Preventing bud blast....

    Hi All, I have few paphs in low-bud and - of course - want them to bloom successfully. In your experience, what is the best way to avoid bud blasting and maximize blooming potential? I thank you in advance for your advice!

Unfortunately, I had to dispose of several plants, mostly Cattleyas, and one that I was particularly sad to go was C. trianae ‘A.C. Burrage.’ It was my only trianae and I set out to find a...
