Also, someone asked about a wood greenhouse. I built one from a kit when I lived in Southern Oregon. It was redwood and the company may have been called Redwood Greenhouses or something like that. I like the wood ones, especiall for Florida where the solid top is only needed or desireable for a couple or 3 months. Then in the summer, I replaced the fiberglas panels with redwood slattes panels same size (I custom built them myself) and screwed them to the upper rails. That gave me shade and cooling in the 100 degree + days in Oregon summers. Just Google on "redwood greenhouses" and you'll find lots. Just my 2 cents. I don't think Doc's kit would work for Florida because of the summer temps. Again, just my 2 cents (or is that 1 cent in this recession?)

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.)
