Are you doing this for yourself or for a show?

I'm doing it for me and hope to display it next September at my society's 50th anniversary show. I figure if I do the built of the enclosure over the winter and start planting in the spring, it should be well established by September, fingers crossed.

Hope you post pictures!

Funny you should say that, I dropped and completely shattered my camera last week. Will have to treat myself to a new one for Chanukah. I should be ready for the build to start by then and wil definately keep you posted. You do the same, can't wait to see your finished product.

Will do. Bought some of the materials this week, so will start building soon.

Ron - Are you building your own display case or are buying a ready made case. There is a wonderful custom build vivarium company in Washington State. I was going to buy a custom case from the but the shipping was as much as the case itself. Here is a link to their site if you want to take a look:

Glen,

I have my own self-built "orchidarium" where I grow my orchids:
Orchids in Bloom: Orchidarium Update

I also built last year a display case for use in shows - pictures near end of post:
Orchids in Bloom: Mount Baker Orchid Society Show

It is the latter I'm working on - changing not the case but the display inside.
