What is your objective for growing orchids?

[Ross]

I really am in envie of the folks who have greenhouses and can afford to heat them in the winter. If I only had more space, I could break the bank even further by buying more orchids! Dorothy: yes I have a couple small reserved spots just in case a mini catches my eye.

I was drawn by the beauty, I became fascinated with the diversity, I enjoy a challenge, and I can look forward to a lifetime of learning new things. What other hobby can give you all that??

There's always room for orchids
or is that Jello?

That's Jello! Never room for more more orchids (unless I rip out a south wall and make a lean-to greenhouse - now that's a thought! )

Ross, That sounds like a great feature for any house! Go for it!!

I'm not kidding here! In case you thought I was (were). I have room for a major expansion if I do it right. That whole area to the right of the built-out box bay (my present grow area) is the candidate! This whole wall faces south!

That looks like a great place - and with all of that sun, it will be wonderful!! It's like building one huge tank! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Probably will! You cost me a lot of money, you know that, right?

[shakkai]

LOL!! Not only the cost of doing the extension... but just think of all those new orchids you're going to have to get!! Just call me 'the great enabler'

[Dorothy]

I told you there was always room for orchids
If there is a will, there is a way
