Great flowering,healthy plants and very clean place. 10+!!

Gorgeous.

Wow! What a show! and the blooms and plants are all so healthy looking. Nice variety too.

Fantastic! What are the little slat boxes made from? I tried making something like that with "craft sticks," but they are too small and rot too quickly.

Tuckers Tempting Treasures! A beautiful presentation!

Those are wood orchid baskets, sometimes called vanda baskets. I have some made from cedar, teak, cypress and mahogany. They're available from most orchid supply stores. I buy them locally. Even Home Depot carries them down here in Florida. I grow outdoors in South Florida where baskets are commonly used because it often rains every day during the summer and the roots will rot if orchids are in pots. I don't think they would be practical for growing indoors or in areas with less humidity.

Beautiful! I can't get over the number of blooms your plants always have! Thanks for sharing your bounty with us ice-bound northerners!

BEAUTIFUL !

I am in AWE!
