The current arrangement of plants :-
This shows the left hand side, and the roof area ; the upper two rows of plants are mostly vandaceous, and the lower 3 or 4 ( 3 at some places where there are taller or larger plants, 4 at others where they are a bit smaller) are dendrobiums.
On the bench itself -
depending where you look, are paphs ( the last 50 or so of what was once my National Collection of these), phrags, brassias, oncidiums, Zygos, and Pleurothallids - I am getting rid of all Pleuros, to create more space for dendrobiums and cattleyas in particular.
The right bench is similar ;
The dendrobiums here are larger plants, so less layers, the blue trays , each about 30 x 20 inches ( 50 x 70cm ) are for S/H plants - mostly oncidiums - meaning the old multigenera things like Vuylstekearas, Withneraras, Odontocidiums, Colmanaras, and so on.
The centre bench is , for about 80 or 90% of its length, cattleyas :-
More in the next posting, and then the techie stuff.....
