Sharry B, Sweet Valley, Cats Paw and a tolumnia...
 
...all walk into a bar.

Ok this isn't the beginning of a bad joke! I promise.

I've had a few successful reblooming orchids this time around and a new Phal that I love!

Phal cats paw is awesome. Very thick petals and sepals.

A cool tilandsia (spelling?) I got way cheap and put it in this glass globe to keep the humidity up for it. Glass globe and plant get soaked nightly!

It's so colorful in my grow space these days!!!

Thanks!

Local garden center. After Xmas they have a two day 50% off everything sale which made these globes 10 bucks. I got three!

I've seen them on eBay before, though. Search for tillandsia and you're bound to find them. They're pretty big, too. Still trying to decide how to plant a phal in one. I think I have an idea but I'm not will to test it out on these because they're so nice. Ill go to goodwill and find an old light glass bowl that you put over light bulbs and test it out that way.

Cool - thanks! Not long ago I saw some with tillies inside at a hardware store, but I only wanted the globes - I'll check ebay, as well as keep a look out at nursery and garden centers :)
