Shots of my greenhouse
Just wanted to share shots of my greenhouse.
My mounts in their summer home. A couple of them don't live here but live outside, these are just the greenhouse ones.
My Masdevallias, Dens, Restrepia and the one and only Catt. The Dens have had some slug damage which is why there are slug pellets on the table.
The oncidium/brassia types. The two Nelly Islers on the left have not done well at all over the winter and I'm not sure if they will survive. On the other hand the large Sharry baby at the back on the right just grows and grows and grows.
A Den kingiannum and a Den Ellen (a kingiannum hybrid). These are temporarily on the equipment table because they have aphids but seem to be clear of those now.

Thanks Bill, it's Masdi veitchianna (also my current avatar) and the flowers are always quite big but this one does seem particularly large.

Very nice! Everything looks pretty happy and your Masdie is gorgeous! What are the dimensions of your greenhouse?

Everything looks great! I love your mounts.
Holy smokes, I didn't realize the Masdi veitchianna bloom was so big - that's really spectacular!

Nice Rosie! I don't think I ever saw pics of your greenhouse. I wish that I could grow Masdies, even the heat tolerant ones hate me...

Thanks everyone
Yeah the Masdie is quite a large one, veitchianna is probably one of the biggest I've seen. I took these photos and the ones on my thread about the veitchianna about two weeks after it opened and I'm glad I didn't get time earlier as it's opened wider and grown since opening. I was worried about waiting because sometimes the slugs get the flowers, but I was lucky this time.

It's 6'x6' which was the biggest I could fit in a 'useless' bit of space between my house and the neighbour.
I still need to get proper benches in there which I've been meaning to do a couple of years now. However the tables I have work OK. I am particularly pleased with the new support for the mounts which I only put in a couple of weeks ago. Last summer they hung from various bits of the greenhouse frame but I have more this year so needed something dedicated for them.
