New subscriber and Orchid owner here. I have a Phalaenopsis "Brother
Golden" hybrid and an Angraecum leonis. I'm under the impression that

Thanks for any info
Actually, it's Cymbidium 'Harry' (AM/AOS, if you
put stock in such designations). If you grow it well, you'll need a very tall

efforts made in that regard are laudable, but if we don't put a stop to global
warming and unrestricted growth no amount of micromanagement of the environment
will save the orchids or any other living things.
