I'm so excited for you! I'm a new orchid afficionado and I'm thinking about joining the Miami Orchid Society. Are you associated with them at all? It might be a good idea to help you take care of those 65!!! orchids!!
I would also be happy to help you at all if I can with my limited knowlege. I've been growing Phals on my porch here with some great results for a few years but thats the extent of my experiance. I look foreward to hearing more about your new collection!

Thanks, I have not joined any societies yet. I appreciate your offer, I do have quite a few Phals so I'm going to take some photos and post them up.  |

WOW!!! 65 Orchids! Potting supplies, food and books. That is a grand prize. Now tell me. Did you have any trouble fitting all those orchids into your space?

We are going to take some photo's with the digital camera this weekend. I'm going to attempt to post them on a new thread. 
Our backyard perimeter is surrounded by Arica palms so they have lots of filtered light.
We have been working in the evenings putting them in containers and hanging them under the eaves, from trellis' etc.
I love the colors we have, predominately yellows, purples, a few reds. |
