Trichoglottis brachiata

My solution to the space problem is to look especially at big plants, and ask myself, is that earning its keep ?
I know that I could discard half a dozen bulbos ( sorry Jack, they don’t do it for me ) all in 12 inch pans/ baskets or whatever, and still have just as many flowers next year. Their time is up....
Maybe just break them up and take large bucketful of 3-4 bulb pieces to one of my orchid societies, with a sign saying, help yourself....
Have just sent yet another last order (because of Brexit) to my favourite South American nursery, so 20 pots to find space for when the plants arrive, next month - will extend my Phrag collection substantially, as well as interesting looking Epidendrums, Encyclias, etc. Also a few species long on my wish list - Eriopsis, Houlletia, etc... probably never seen in UK because they won’t like our climate, but hey, someone has to be noble and self-sacrificing...

I know the feeling, I gave up all of my Vanda's to make room for more bulbos, we get addicted to the orchids we like and will do anything to make room for more of them.

Jack I wish I had known about your Vanda downsize. I'd have taken a trip down

They went to the person whos gets all my orchids when I kick the bucket, not soon I hope still have some orchids that have never bloomed and I would like to see them. That was awhile ago before I built my bulbo shed that you saw.
