Thanks, Steve. It's the only way I can grow orchids given our frequent moves.

Beautiful setup. I see a diversity of the plants. What temperature do you generally keep in your setup? Is it heated or just a room temperature?

Every time I see a picture of a set-up like yours, Ron, I think that they're beautiful and regret that I didn't learn about smaller-growing orchids until many years after I had acquired some of the bigger ones that wouldn't fit into any sort of Wardian case (and sticking my Angraecum eburneum colony inside of an extra-large Wardian case would look comically ridiculous, now that I think of it). Still, I can admire the talent of others thanks to sites like this and pictures like yours.

It rarely goes above 70 in the daytime (the highest on a warm summer day is about 75-80) and generally goes down around 60-65 at night. It is not heated and holds mostly cool-growing plants.

A set-up like this really only works for smaller orchids. Appreciate, though, the time you took to look at the pics and comment.
