Hi all,

Thought I would come over and visit for awhile from Slippertalk. I see allot of familiar names here too!

Besides loving my orchids I also love to take pictures of them to treasure later when they are out of bloom.

Nice to see everyone!

Welcome Dee, feel at home here

Do you grow anything else other then slippers ? Looking forward to seeing your pictures?

Oh yes, a little bit of everything! Catt's, Phal's, Miltoniopsis, Paph's and a few others. I grow under lights in my home so I am limited but so far I think it's somewhere around 300 plants, but who is counting!

Hi Dee, welcome to the OB.

What types of lights are you growing under? Fluorescents here - soon to be HID!

Dee · #6 06-14-2006, 09:32 PM

I have allot of 4' x 4 tube fluorescents and a dual 500 watt fixture (250 & 250) over the main bench in the main room which faces south, so I also get allot of natural light flitered with sheer curtains. Then in another room a 400 watt HID, then in another room a bunch of racks with 4' x 2 tube fluorescents. Good thing the house is a good size or the orchids would take it over totally.
