Thanks. It's all been a learning experience since the greenhouse is only a few months old. I do like the green rods though because they have those little "nubs" on them that keep the hangers from sliding around (handy when the fan is on high).


(Yeah, I said "nubs" )

Can you give us the names of the two beautiful Vandas which you pictured? They look fantastic.

Marilyn,
The blue one was Pakchong blue (Doctor Anek x coerulea). Among the blues that I've grown, such as Sansai, Princess Mikasa, ..., I like Pakchong the most - even though Sansai blue flowers are a little bigger (10 centimeters across). Pakchong is more blue and brighter than others.
The other was a hybrid of Gord Dillon "Lea".

Vanda Fan, thanks for the names. I sure will abe looking for the Gordon Dillon 'Lea'. I don't have anything like that and I love it.

Thanks Vandafan,

I wish mine was a greenhouse then I would have some control of the temp.. I have a screened in pool area that still gets the cold weather when it comes this far south and the extreme heat. I have to bring everybody in if we get a freeze. That being said I enjoy being able to get everybody soaked with no cleanup Nice blooms on your vandas.

I'm hoping to get an Ascda that was named after a friend of mine called Ascda 'Jackie Wood'. Hope I get one this weekend.

A friend in Florida made an "A-frame" setup out of 1" PVC - it looks like a swing-set frame. He capped all of the pipe, and installed misting nozzles in the bottom of the cross-bars (the long one at the top and those in the "A's"), so that he could water merely by opening a single valve.

	Mistking Looking for a misting system? Look no further. Automated misting systems from MistKing are used by multitude of plant enthusiasts and are perfect for Orchids. Systems feature run dry pumps, ZipDrip valve, adjustable black nozzles, per second control! Automatically mist one growing shelf or a greenhouse full of Orchids. See MistKing testimonials

A lot of good suggestions. As previously mentioned I use gal. pipe in the greenhouse closer to the ceiling for plenty of light AND I have two PVC ones that are in a shape of a T. Easy to carry outsides for the summmer months. Good luck.
