Default Photos of my greenhouse growing area

I wasn't certain whether to post this under "Member's Displays" or here in the greenhouse forum, but I decided ultimately that this was probably the best place.

I am a 100% dedicated greenhouse grower for orchids and other tropical plants. My growing area is a large greenhouse which is styled after the many lovely greenhouses,conservatories, butterfly houses, etc that I have visited over the past 20 years. I try to grow things in a "natural" way, ie, I try to grow things not in containers but mounted or in the ground as they might grow naturally in habitat.

My greenhouse is constantly changing, I decided to change things pretty much on a monthly basis.

Here are a few photos.

the previous photo shows a Renanthera, and in the background, one of my Vanilla orchids climbing a grapevine totem.

This is a "multi-media" mount with some dends, phals and bromeliads, mounted to one of the greenhouse supports

Default Big Yellow Mokara

I bought this Mokara in the Florida Keys when we were down there diving one weekend. Here it is in full bloom

Default Orchids on the floor

This bed has a lot of stuff in it, the large wavy leaved plant is an Anthurium plowmanii. There is a piece of driftwood near it with some phals in mixed colors mounted on it

I love your greenhouse! Tell us more about it. How big, how long you have had it, etc. I wish my renanthera would bloom like that!
