    Default Pics of my plants outdoors

    I finally took all 200 or so of my plants, mostly Paphs and Phrags outdoors and gave them all a very nice shower and some fresh drink of water and food. Here are some pics. They are not the glamour shots, sorry but you get the "pictures".

    COOL! Nice to see them all sort of together! Hey, is that your porch in the second pic? It really IS sunny and bright, huh? I've been trying to imagine how it could be enclosed, and yet bright enough for your plants.
    Thanks for posting!
    You're plants look very happy today, by the way, in all the heat and humidity!

    Yay! Pete, I gotta say, it's really nice to see a few snapshots coming from you: Paphraguy with his phrags down. heh.

    They look great! Plus, I think it's important that people (especially new growers) see what the plants look like when they're not all coiffed and styled and gelled--what they look like in "real life."

    Nice show!

    Thanks, Heather and lja! I agree to what you said, lja.

    Heather, yes the second picture is part of the porch. Porch is enclosed with glass windows on three sides, like a sunroom.

    Orchids in their natural beauty....

    I agree, I enjoy seeing them like that...pots,medium, a few blemished leaves,etc. It makes me feel like my orchids are normal !

    PS I have the same thermometer,too!
