The curtain rail isn't strong enough to hold a hanging basket but if you look at the 4th pic down up on the left you will see a tree fern mount with a Dockrillia hanging from it.

What is the name of the yellow phal in the "happy individual inhabitants" section?

Not sure if you have a Trader Joe's in your neck of the woods. But I saw one that looked like that yesterday and a TON of them around Easter time in the grocery stores. I bought one a few weeks back, couldn't resist.

Do you know what the one in the pink pot between the yellow phal and the white phal is? Looks like it will be putting on quite a show in the near future. I only wish I had the room to do something like that in my teeny weeny kitchen window.

Thanks for the info on the yellow phal. I have one I purchased a couple of years ago, the tag said Phal Cashmore. Two years ago it bloomed for the first time and I have my doubts it's Cashmore, it looks an awful lot like yours. I guess I'll just keep calling it the 'Cashmore Noid' LOL.

Hi, the pot was originally terracotta coloured but it looks pink because it's faded so much. It's a cymbidium I just bought from the Ezi-Gro Orchids - Cym Magic Elf 'Pixie' x Cym Little Elf ' Tall Poppy'. It has two very full spikes on it and it's also splitting the pot! I'll repot as soon as it finishes flowering because if I do it now I know I'll knock the buds off.

I thought it might be a cymbidium. Do you have any idea what the flowers will be like?
