Here is a video I made of the botany lab where I work. Its not much, more of a teaching lab really, but I have started to fill it with orchids. ANd you get a look at the orchids I got from Parkhill and Rob at LittleFrog Farms.

That was a great trip around the office! Tindo what are the orchids you are growing and why are you growing them?
Those are the orchids I got from Rob and from Parkside Orchids. Paph. wardii, Paph. venustum(Project plant), Masd. princeps, Masd. lamprotiria, & Dyakia hendersonianum is the one in the hanging basket. The really big one is Bulbophyllum orthoglossum, and then the giant one is a NOID Phal that I have had for over 1 year.

The last plant you show is a Stapelia! I like Stapelias and their stinking flowes, so unusual! I intend to buy a Bulbophyllum fletcherianum that flowers stink like rotten flesh too! It's enough of sweet fragrances! (just kidding!). Congrats for the Lab and thanks for sharing!
As a teaching Botany Lab, I hope they appreciate seeing more and more orch.. I mean plants as time goes by
That cactus type is a Stappelia??? Stinky flowers??? Really? Never heard of it. Thanks for the info though! Do you know how to get it to flower?

Tindo, I wached again and I'm sure is a Stapelia! I've lost many plants due humidity (roots and twig rot); direct sun, high temp, low humidity and they grow well.

Love the turtle -- Thanks for the tour & taking time to do the video for us
