Quite a line-up! I'm partial to the alba and semi-alba but they are all stunning.

Why in your shade house? Do you shift them from brighter light to lower light sometime during the bloom cycle?

Not exactly, during the winter (may/september) my growing area is completely enclosed, like a true greenhouse, and during the hot months (october/april) it has all the sides open, (they remain protected with shade cloth only). This is what I call shade house. |

Mauro,
I will hopefully be moving to a cold part of Hawaii (high up in elevation so the temps actually get down to freezing in the winter) soon and was thinking about having a greenhouse that converts to a shadehouse. What brand is yours or how did you make it and how do you convert it to shade/greenhouse? Sorry, this might be a whole new thread of its own! |

Steve, I'm answering later today, because I'm leaving now for the São Paulo Orchid Show, OK?

I've already seen the new blooms on your flickr account... I check them daily  Your catts are the reason for my new obsession for Brazilian orchids. And I am going to have some very, very soon  |
