Orchidarium Photo's
Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that I have finally posted some pictures on My Gallery of my new Orchidarium. I am bad at taking pictures, so I appologize for any funny colors or odd angles! Thanks for looking!
P.S.....no laughing at how crowded it is!

Excellent! 
All orchidariums should be so crowded! 
What size is it again?

Not big enough...trust me....I still have 5 plants, not including 4 cymbidiums, that are still awaiting a decision of what I am going to do with them.....it is the Grand Caymen on the cPanel® website.

Very nice!
You have some healthy big orchids!
Was your orchidarium purchased from a store or did you build it yourself? (I don't know much about orchidariums.)

I bought it as a set up from the following website called Orchidarium Inc., or something like that:
orchidarium.com
I had to put it together once it was shipped to me...but it came with everything that I would need, including a pain in the butt timer that I replaced with a simple cheap one! I love having the lights come on and go off automatically....it is the best thing...now if I just had one more.....
There are other companies that I would recommend checking out first....I think I could have gotten something much bigger for the same price I paid....and I am not joking when I say it is not big enough....it is big don't get me wrong...I just have to many orchids guess....but not as many as others

The other site I found, after I purchased mine and was patiently waiting for it to be delivered is called Urban Greenhouse and I found them in the AOS Orchids magazine.
Welcome to Urban Greenhouse
I think they may be pretty comparative...but for not too much more money a person could get double the space of what I have....but then it doesn't include all the goodies and of course those are extra...but when your already spending that kinda of money on something then to some it may not matter, while others it may break the bank and be a determining factor. All in all, the Orchidarium Inc prices are not to bad for the size, but now that I know what materials are needed, I think a person might be able to build one cheaper if a person is willing to put the work into it. I wasn't willing to at the time....but maybe next year I will!

I love your pics Becca!  I don't think it looks too crowded either. I was also thinking I could fit more in there too! I am so happy for you!
