Do you have a crowded window?

[Vanda lover]

That's a lot of ribbons! You may have to throw a few out to make room for more orchids.
The only time I had a lot of ribbons it was for pig art competitions.

I guess I forget how lucky I am to have so many windows! Being in an east west house helps because all of them get half the days light. My two spare bedrooms while unheated are ideal for my overwintering succulent and cacti collection and the north facing utlity room is really good for a hospital ward as it's nice and warm and humid.

The other rooms downstairs all house orchids at this time of year - the best ones are in the living room - cymbidiums and dendrobiums - and my phals are hanging out in the kitchen. Small collection after I pruned out the dead wood last year but I can manage it better now. Having said that I'm getting nine new ones tomorrow cos a friend died back in September and I am taking them on.

Happy New Year to one and all
