Beautiful bounty. Love the "clothes" hangar idea. Next time I repot anything I'll certainly hang it up to dry. I too worry about laying stuff flat. Great idea

I've seen them online, both in Europe as in the U.S.A. I think I saw them at Regalorchids (is that U.S.A?) If I remember well the price tag is $14.95

That's such an ingenious idea to hang your orchids!!! Kudos to you for being so creative. Wonderful idea to keep water from the crown when repotting.
I always enjoy repotting a new orchid because for me, it's like putting together a puzzle - especially if there are a lot of roots! 
Glad you had such a great haul!  |

Beautiful haul! I love the NOID, but I'm always partial to the "underdog" LOL
P. schilleriana, a species phal. requires more light than most phals. as it naturally grows higher up on a tree. I'm not sure about the stuartiana tho. You might want to do some research.
You have to get a bigger basket for your bike!

Not only I dry my laundry on a rack sometimes to increase humidity  , I also use a rack to dry orchids |
I had to giggle when I saw the pic of the orchids on the clothes-line, right next to the clothes you are drying! 
Question from a newbie? - why do you dry the orchids before you re-pot them? Hanging them on a clothes line is pure genius, I must say! |
