all my windows can still accomodate 10 to 20 pots and the hanging hooks can still fit maybe 50 mini....

its a matter of getting the right tier and arrange them in such a way that it doesnt clutter; pretty much like cataloguing in a library

Most of your orchids are miniature right? See the prob with me n my french windows, my Catts are monsters alrdy n still young plants. I also have specimen size ones too -__-. Space runs out quick!

I have few large specimens Cattleyas and Dendrobiums, large Vandas hanging on wires....and majority are miniatures=three tables on each window with tierred metal racks .....I still can accomodate 20 to 40 more medium orchids in pots and hanging....but from now on; I have to put everything inside my bedroom to be locked if I have a party....I got seven of my miniatures stolen last time I had a party

What the hell?! Who the heck do you invite to your parties?!
Sorry to hear that though. I would kill someone, for sure!
Especially since I have some rare ones.
P.s. I finally was able to get my hands on a C. Warscewiczii!!! A lovely lady from Louisiana offered me a division from her specimen size plant' a rather generous division too!
I'm going to be in Boca Raton in a cpl weeks and I will collect it then. I'm super excited; been dying for this one. I'm making sure to pick up my import license because i'm not risking them taking it away if they decide to look in my suitcase!

do not put it in your suitcase....get a large cigarette paper bag or a wine paper bag (the ones you get from customs gift shops at the airport) they do not inspect those as you come through inspections....nochalantly carry it draped with a jacket or a coat

You sound like you've done it before!
That actually is a good idea.
