Encroaching orchids!
It has happened at it was going to happen. I now have to fill my living room window with chids now that the kitchen window is 99.99% full. Sitting looking at the LR window I can plainly see phals dangling from the curtain rail. The vision is so clear that I will have to make a few purchases just to make sure that my vision is correct. The window sill already has paphs, catts, dens, epi's and milts! 
This isn't going to be pretty but somebody's got to do it.  |

Kelo: I don't think you need curtains at all! Once you have the window full, you have a whole ceiling to play with. I bet you even have lights in your LR. Now That's a waste of space. What you need is a lighting system that allows you to have a row upon row of plants dangling down. Think of it: the plants get the direct light, you the indirect light while you watch t.v. The room will be filled with the most pleasant of smells, be very colorful and last but not least .... should you ever have scale, mealybug or spider mite, you'll find the evidence in your hair and on the sofa first.

LOL. So which new Phals will have the honor of being the first to dangle from the curtain rod?

You know, I have the perfect solution for your overcrowding: Send some to ME! I can't wait to see the pictures of another window of yours completely filled with orchids!

Very nice list!
Where did you find the Phal Orchid World? I feel in love with it when someone posted a pic on OB 2-3 years ago, but have never found one.
