How I filled my windows

Looks great! I wish I had so much space in my windows!

Thanks! I wish I had more!

There is always that! I shouldn't complain - with the climate here, at least I am able to grow some outdoors year-round (tho do always need to keep an eye on the weather forecast)

Even my hibiscus have to come inside for the winter.

Wow that looks awesome!!! Where did you get all the hangers & baskets? That would give me so much more space for plants.

I bought my baskets and wire hangers from Roberts Flower Supply (he is in Ohio, here) but many other orchid vendors offer them. I bought the longest hangers I could, then trimmed with wire cutters to the size I wanted. I used the extra wire to hang the smallest baskets.

You have a cool name, by the way!

Thanks! I actually made a makeshift little basket today out of popsicle sticks glued together for my tiny r. gigantea Will have to buy a bunch of those hangers and real baskets..I have issues fitting all the other houseplants indoors in winter, plus I 'accidentally' have several new orchids on the way

The name stems from what I draw, art is one of my other hobbies

Last August, I realized I didn't have room and bought the hangers. I was panicking. Before the plants go outside, I plan to document where they all are so they fit inside this autumn. The pictures should help.

Here is the new window arrangement for the winter of 2013-14. The big 'empty' bowl of dirt contains bulbs, ready for another year. They will soon be sprouting. I have plants in other windows, too, but the majority of orchids are somewhere among these windows.

Dragonsong, when I updated this, I saw your post again and just had to say, dragons and most other fantasy creatures are really difficult stuff to draw (but very fun!). Good luck with your art!
