:goodluck: Man! You should be in Atl. right now. From now until the end of March, the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is hosting an event they call Orchid Daze. During this time, they offer guided tours of the orchidarium, orchid care clinics, orchid markets (you know where THAT will lead.:evil: :evil: :rofl: ), and evening hour access. And I JUST bought a new dig. camera. Yes!!! I can't wait!

Absolutely!! It starts small and then grows until a significant portion of your house looks like a rainforest!! Pretty soon you'll have monkeys and parrots!! jk :)

Word.

Nick - check out some of these stands ;)
Plant Light Stands for Orchids: Orchids By Hausermann
Gotta love that first one :nod:

Wonder what type of lights are being supplied (they don't say, other than I would need to buy the bulbs.)

They say they 'Use flourescent bulbs OS-1145E or OS-1145GE' when you click on each stand individually but they aren't included. For the first 2 plant stand set-ups
and also
They sell VITEK 93 PLUS FOR LIGHTSTAND II & NEW TABLETOP LIGHTSTANDS and GE Sunshine F32 FOR LIGHTSTAND II & NEW TABLETOP LIGHTSTANDS and
Vi-Tek 93+ FLOURESCENTS FOR LIGHTSTANDS PURCHASED BEFORE JULY 2007 - These are offer below the 2 plant stands, above the Sodium Light Fixture on that page :)

Nice, but that doesn't help. They look like t12's to me (standard florescents). I was wondering about t5's which are sooooo much better :biggrin: By the way, most bulbs sold at Petsmart (or is it Pet Smart ;)) are t12.

How can anyone buy just two?
 

I have bought 14 in the last week. Shhh! Be vewy qwiet, we'we hunting owchids!:scratchhead:

I was bad today too (ordered 4 more)....I think you've beat me though, Gregg...I may need to slow down or I won't have the $$ to pay the light bill to RUN THE LIGHTS to GROW THE ORCHIDS....:scratchhead: :dumb: :faint:
