What a beautiful variety you have going on. They are all gorgeous, but my favorites are the Laelia and the whilte phal. Oh, and that lip of the first one is so cute!
Thanks for sharing!  |

Great display. What's the chance of an overview photo in the GH?

I've been eyeing that Frieda Shapira on Big Leaf's site for quite awhile now. It's beautiful! Heck they're all beautiful. I agree with Ross, an overview of the GH would be neat to see. Thanks for sharing! |

Gorgeous pics! With over 50 orchids in bloom your GH must be beautiful! I really like your Frieda Shapira too. I've really been wanting to try purchasing a phal from Big Leaf too but I'm really running out of room.  |

Tried
Well, I actually took some overview shots in the GH but I hate them. The day is awful. Cloudy and cold. When the sun comes out I'll take a couple of bench shots, but wide angle shots just show tiny flowers that don't make a useful point.
I'll attach an exterior shot of the front of the structure. Housing on left is the emergency generator. You can see the furnace vent sticking out the front and (through the wall) below the vent you can see the outline of the control boxes for electricity and cooling/heating. Back left corner is the propane regulator. There is a cooling cell in the back wall opposite the door that will be visible in interior shots.
