Not a good photographer, but here goes!
I've been rearranging my chids over the past week or so, because of the new spring/summer sun's positions. Whew, that was a mouthful!  After much coaxing, my chids perked up for a photo shoot (they are such hams). I apologize for the poor quality of my photography abilities.
Here are some of my chids.
Now this last one is my wonder child. It's my phrag nitidissimum that I bought in 2007 and she my newest darling! I feel like handing out cigars!  |

Wow! Beautiful display. I don't see any artificial lighting anywhere... how do all your obviously very happy 'chids cope with dim winter light up there?

Hi Kiki,
You do indeed have a wonderful collection! The pink paph is very pretty  - could I ask what the name of it is?
Thank you,
Paula |

Thanks all! The pink paph is Paph delenatii x Paph primulinum var. primulinum that is new from EOM, it came in bud. She sure is a cutie.
As for lighting, they stay mostly in the sunroom all winter and some are in the kitchen nook area where I have 6 windows plus two skylights. When we built this house, we made sure we had lots of light because of winter months. Reason being, I have always had a touch of light deficit disorder. I didn't own as much as a houseplant at that time, either. Who knew I had all this bottled up orchid obsession inside me!!!!!  |

What a wonderful collection you have Kiki! There are so many in bloom, it must be heavenly! 
That last one... the phrag! Excellent! I love it
I hear you on the re-organization of the 'chid set up too. What an ordeal! I'm in the process myself... and slowly coming to the reality that I need to suck it up and get a greenhouse. |
