chids in for the winter
So I had a nice quiet day today. I got up and watered the plants. Went to an greenhouse sale (only brought home a couple lycastes....go me!). And then came home and brought all the chiddies in for the winter. Its a bit early but we've had some pretty cold nights (cold enough to make me get up at 3 and check the temps) so I figured I would bring them all in except a few Dens that I wanna get nipped by frost and the Cyms. Once I had them all in I realized I should not have purchased the lycastes. IM OUT OF ROOM  !!! But I somehow managed to jam about 275 plants into my grow room and call it good. I can't wait to get the greenhouse up and going. So anyway I took some pics since we always love pics.  (Im obviously very board) |

All your chids look beautiful and healthy and organized. You have a lot blooming looks amazing. I spend the day cleaning and moving my chids too. Found that the earwicks did a number on my cymbs. Next year i'll just keep everybody inside for the summer, i think.

Paul, I just LOVE your grow room! I would do anything to have a place like that for my orchids! Mine did not got outside at all since the temps went down to 10°C and below almost every night this summer. I hate chilly summers.
What's the name of the one in bloom, the 8th photo? I love the flowers on that one!

Its Galabstia Green Tiger. Parents are Galeottiia grandiflora and Pabstia jugosus. Neat little hybrid that is very fragrant. It bloomed for me with one spike and one flower earlier this season and just came back with 2 spikes and a total of 5 blooms. One of my favorite plants........who am I kidding, they're all my favorite  |
