My back porch would normally be called a tiki bar. But, since i'm not normal it's now referred to as the orchid bar. A member asked me to show my set-up...so here it is. The paving stones and pool seem to reflect a ton of sunlight. I have to hide phals and oncidiums in the darkest corners...and still they burn.

I put alot of cattleya on the bar as this seems to be where these ones like it best.

As you walk out the back door I arrange the blooming plants so it's the first thing you see.

Down at the far end in the corner is the misting area I call the jungle.

I've begun moving everything back against the wall as the sun has been so hot lately it's burning everything. You'll probably notice alot of burn spots on the plants I had out front for awhile.
