I shouldn't be posting pics anymore because I don't have a proper digicam, so I apologise for the crappy pics.
The first pic is a part of my grow area on the roof ( forgive the algae, pics was taken last summer in the middle of rainy season) The second pic are the 2 hallway (small) windows where I grow most of my Phals and my few Paphs. The 2 Phals hanging above will go outside on the roof in early summer when they are done blooming.

Hi Karen,
If you are in Denmark and have a greenhouse full of orchids like that, you are indeed doing very well and certainly a certified orchid addict.(Just kidding!)
We all make do with what we have. The important thing is having fun with the orchids. What a fabulous hobby!
Cheers. Hoa.
No seriously, that is a title I am proud to wearOriginally Posted by Hoa Tony Nguyen
Aint we all addicted. Actually I feel like the orchids are not running my life as much now as before the greenhouse. Growing inside means a lot of compromises (eg "where is the dinner table"), so after loosing a second dinner table to the orchids I realised we needed a greenhouse

Happy weekend to all![]()
Hi Karen.
About my floor. I wash it from time to time thats all. There is algeae on it but mostly in the summer of course. I just tace a rough broom and take it of with water.
Greeting to you "neighbour" and to all of you orchidfanatics.
Here are a pic for you all.
It reads: Orchid Addicts Anonymous. Was made for me by a fellow orchid adict in Sweden. No names![]()

We do the same, but it really is messy, we have even tried to clean it and spray with chlorine, to keep it away, at least for a while. But I guess that just mean we have a good air humidity
Nice handy craft, I guess to motto might be "please give me ability to grow orchids, the power to distinguish between what I can and can not grow, and the strength to stay with what I can grow"...![]()
That is very good, Karen. I might use it for a gift for the Christmas gift exchange at our local orchid society next year if you don't mind me stealing your words.

Check out this thread...starting an Orchid Addicts Anonymous group is not a new idea on the forum! I had a little fun modifying the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to fit our cause...you can find it at this link to another thread on the forum! I'd forgotten about it until I was reading the last few posts to this thread and had myself a good chuckle re-reading them....
