New member living near Brisbane Australia. Started keeping orchids about 18mths ago. Now have about 250 different across Cats,Vanda,Paphs/Phrags,Dens,Oncid alliance,Sarcs,Stanhopea,Catasetum,Lycaste,Bulboph yllum,Cymbids,Cycnoches,etc.
Usual teething probs trying to keep a mixed collection in 2 orchid houses-one with 50% sun and other 30%.
Hope to learn from more experienced members.

WOW! All I can say is one word...PICTURES!

...But not just pictures of the Orchids, although that would be lovely too but I would just love to see a shot scanning across the inside of your greenhouse showing your beautiful orchids ( am I getting too personal here?). There is just something nice about walking into a greenhouse and seeing all those happy lil' faces.

Anyway...WELCOME -you picked a very nice forum and we're happy to have you, good luck with all those beautiful orchids, it sounds like your well on your way!

Stokesy, welcome!
You have been bitten by the orchid bug, for sure!
I too would love to see pics, especially of the greenhouse overview.
Wow, so many orchids in such a short time. That's amazing. It's so much enjoyment, isn't it? I have about 80 but no greenhouse for them...an overcrowded sunroom.
Many of the OB members are lucky enough to be in Miami Florida for the WOC this week/weekend....which I envy being in 13 degree F weather right now in Maine.
If you need help with anything or have questions, feel free to fire away! kiki

As requested am going to try to post a couple of photos I took this morning.Doesn't look like 250 but houses are quite big and some orchids quite small!

Awesome Greenhouse Stokesy...this is so cool! With the way your going, it will be full in no time. I can just imagine what it will look like in one year.

Thanks again for the photo!
