Some pics of my Orchids

Whether in the GH or sunroom, they bloom... sometimes twice a year.

Orchids look nice. One question I have is about your GH. How is your bubble wrap fastened. It appears to be a screw and washer.Is that a self tapping screw. I bought the fasteners from Charley's GH and they work but need to careful not to pull to tight or they will pop out of the channel. I am having issues around the vents

Weird. When I clicked on the link yesterday, I saw the pics. Now it's asking me for the password too. First, congrats on the plants surviving those cold temps. Usually these are the first ones to go under cold conditions. You don't say what kind of light you're giving them. That's important. Phals need more light than you think at your latitude. If you're giving them that bright, indirect stuff usually recommended, forget it. They're under-lit and won't grow properly. That could be part of the problem. I would also suspect since they were chilled, they probably lost a lot of their roots too. That could be another reason for stunted growth. In your case, I suspect both reasons are the problem. Another observation: Those large, unglazed pots are about the worst possible thing for an orchid. Take them out, check the roots and you'll probably see most are gone. If that is the case, you'll need to repot in something much smaller - preferably unglazed clay. Something only large enough to accommodate the root mass that is there. If you use the same size pot again, you're only asking for trouble. Kevin

Thanks everyone for all the compliments. My floating baskets aren't doing too good this year. Don't know if it's the weather or my koi (now that they are bigger they are able to tip the basket with their body just enough to nibble. They remind me of deer they don't eat the whole plant just enough to stress it out). I heard a rumor it could be my water is too clean. Pond is in it's third year so it may be fully cycled now. Don't know if any of you read Nosambos (Lisa's) post earler this month so I am linking it to mine. She is so creative she can turn anything that floats into a planter as you can see from her post. I just love visiting her pond because I never know what she has created that is going to surprise me. I got 4 large sheets of styrofoam pads from work. They are about 3 ft long by 1 1/2 ft wide. I am planning on connecting them together with computer cable ties. I am going to try to make a large floating impatiens, watercress island out of them by cutting holes in the pads and placing punctured styrofoam cups in the holes (hopefully this will make them koi proof), then placing impatiens and watercress bare root in the styrofoam cups. It may work unless my koi decide to tip it over. (They completely destroyed one floating basket of watercress in a day). I will post pics if it does work. I am just wondering if I should surround it by pond noodles to make it more stable. Only problem will be getting it in and out of the pond. My pond is in full sun and my fish have no shade other than the floating planters you see in the post here. As they are getting bigger their shade is getting smaller.

Thank you very much, everyone, for your nice comments. Rosemarie: those are fake mushrooms you see in that photo. They look real, don't they? Xuan

Hey Greenhouser2,

Looks like we are both growing orchids and have Rion greenhouses. You can hit my web page and get an overview of what's blooming as well as my set up.

http://www.justplainorchids.com/overview.htm

As the previous poster asked, what are you using to fasten your bubble wrap. I've just started putting mine up and for now I'm using masking tape (so far, so good after 2 weeks). I'm really not expecting it to be that great, but we will see how it fares over the next few weeks.

L8r,
Don

Belleville: Yes, they're self tapping with fender washers. There are no groves or channels in the Rion to hold the green things Charlie sells. It was the screws or nothing. I had to do some taping around the doors and vents. Duct tape to the rescue. :)

justplaindon: How on earth did you fit so many (hundreds?) orchids in your 25' Rion and where did you get them all from? This is your list (below) correct? I couldn't fit anywhere near that many plants in mine. Are they all small "seedlings?"

LOL, yep....those are my babies. A number of them are seedlings and I know that I will loose some (my excessive humidity was causing problems, but I'm getting that more under control). A lot of the trees will come out in the spring. Right now, it's packed! The real space savers are the mounted orchids.

I hope my Degarmoara can give me as nice of a display as your yellow Oncidium. That's a beautiful spray of blooms.

L8r,
Don
