Elaine, I often repeat...the garden is kept as organic as possible but if there's a bug or black spot on the 'chids they get bombed with toxic waste. No foolin' around. Problems can spread like wildfire in an orchid collection. Consistently inspecting your orchids and using clean technique when handling and potting is very important. That said, I love spiders and try to relocate them.

Here's Paph. Petula var. alba today. Don't think I mentioned it but Petula is normally a vinicolor (dark wine color). The alba form is more rare and is a cross of Paph maudiae alba x wardii alba.
