I made a foolish mistake. My min/max thermometer is placed where it is
convenient for me to read rather than where it gives a true reading of
night time temps in the GH. And I'm beginning to think the annual night
time temps are consistently too high for flowering. I thought the GH
was cooling to 55F at night, even in summer, but really I think its more
like 60-62F. Very close to Rotor's classic experiment on
photoperiod/temperatures and flowering in Cattleyas. So I was wondering
about annual temperature fluctuations as they pertain to blooming. I
always assumed these summertime highs were ameliorated by wintertime
lows, and it all balances out in the the end, but now I'm beginning to
wonder.
I wonder if there's been any work on 'lead-time' and temperature? Are
these summertime highs screwing up flower induction for fall? I don't
get the kind of blooming rates I think I should be getting, and when
flowers do form many times they bloom on exceedingly short spikes -
often not even making it out of the sheath. I'm speaking of the
Cattleya alliance here. Well, my paphs aren't blooming great either,
but I know what my troubles are with them, *G*!
Any input?

You got that right, Jim! Us orchid fans are out there and don't let
anyone fool you into thinking we aren't.

"Orchid Society of California - Meets... third Mondays monthly."
The Orchid Society of California is the local society of Oakland, CA.
It is
so named because it was the first Orchid Society to be formed in
California
(and west of the Mississippi as well). Apparently it was the originator
of the
Orchid Digest as well (please correct me if I am wrong on that).
Though smaller than its neighbor, the San Francisco Orchid Society it
is
similar in the high percentage of species growers, and the quality of
show
tables each month. Programs are more frequently geared towards beginner
growers
than at the SFOS.
This month is the annual "Ice Cream Social" and plant auction.
