And thanks CB...you are right about Dorothy....she's a real go-getter on this forum...and I know we are all thankful for that!

By the way Doc, I contacted the maufacturer of the Paph pots I use (the black ones) to see if they could make some clear ones in various sizes and they never called me back. Must not be interested. Here is the only sourche I have found and these are all dark colored: Band Pot 3 5/8 x 6 The manufacturer is Anderson Die and Manufacturing Co.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
