Thanks for the friendly welcome. As for pics, The only one in bloom right now is the Phal thats in the avatar(I think its a doritaenopsis). My Paph((Ianthe Stage) budded, started to open, then dropped.(to high dose of N i think). My Sharry Baby, Thats a long story. I build concrete countertops etc.. on the side,/hobby. I integrated a flower pot into one of the end tables and transplanted her into it. I think there are a couple of factors involved explaining Her condition. Concrete might be sucking the moisture out of the roots thus leading to more watering.(concrete was sealed) 2nd is, to big of diameter of pot for this youngster. 3rd, I dont think that she's recieving enough sun in this particular location.The Cymb Honey Green "Melissa", has come and gone. (Nothing but leaves now.) I'm a newb and have alot to learn about chids.

Future pics to come. Oh one more thing, Ray i love the site.

Thanks for the welcoming.
Here are a few pics of a recent re-pot. I ended up taking out the Sharry Baby from this location, replacing it with one of my latest purchases. It is a Den "Genting Royal"(Thank you kavanaru). This is one idea that I had come up with, while constructing a concrete end table for my wive's b-day. The table is basically a cache pot with a drain. This makes it a little easier for watering/monitoring etc..
