End next week and they will join the other 150 plus orchids in the basement. Sure wish I had a greenhouse like yours.
I, like you have lost the show my plants bug. I am now just growing them for me and my enjoyment. I haven't posted much on here due to time and being too lazy to up-load the pics . I have noticed a lot of regulars absent from the forum but am happy to see new orchid lovers joining. Like you , I follow the great advice that a beautiful plant rarely blooms well. It seems the tougher an orchid is treated or the more it is neglected the more blooms I am rewarded with. Again thanks for sharing your plants in there lovely winter home with us.
Thanks Bill...it's been a super busy summer for us as well. Everytime I think I have a grip on it all something new pops up. I had noted the absence of others as well and thought i'd try to spice things up around here. I am getting caught up and should be back full time. I am going to just be my normal self and keep the "onwards and upwards" attitude going. There are too many people with cool orchids to quit now...lol. I just get frustrated some days...I so appreciate everyone's comments about the greenhouse. I spent several days getting things ready and was pretty happy with myself...if not a little worn out. I'll have to update when I get the cattleya in. It's going to be fun getting them all in there this year.
