tell me about, if not seedlings I'm swimming in divisions, that even then may be a while before blooming... then i was thinking, if/when they all get big where will they go? LOL

I too live in apt and limited space... so I only really grow mini's, and all the biggish ones are on mounts and hanging on the sides of the balcony! it's not fighting for bench space, it's fighting for plant stand space... oy... (and a lot of mini's are hanging off the plant stands)

fortunately I tend to have something blooming year round, but wouldn't mind more blooming year round... or for that matter more growth... I can't complain enough about how many orchids literally sit there and do nothing for months!

Ode to a greenhouse!

A lack of space just means we need to be more creative about what we grow.

You know when you are an addict when you look at the price of something and think "That costs three orchids!"
