Some aspects of my shade house in the summer (photos) - Orchid Board

Here follows some photos of my shade house during the summer time. The sides are kept open from October through April, so in a month or so I am covering the sides, enclosing them up using the same transparent plastic film seen on the roof.
Almost all of my plants are hanging (except for the seedlings) and are in clay pots having sphagnum as medium.

Aaaaaaaaaaaw, what a place to live and grow orchids! I love it! How many plants do you have? Do you them water by hand????

Looks awesome!

Love your set up Mauro. So..enquiring minds want to know how long it takes you to water them all

I'd be lying if I said I weren't a little envious.

hehe

Just gorgeous!!!

Wow, Mauro! Looks like a LOT of work but what a wonderful way to spend time. I love the spotted catt in your "shadier corner."

Yes, it is a lovely place to spend time! Lots of work, it is true, but it is a kind of work I love to do.
Well, I need more or les half an hour to have them all watered. Oh, yes, they are all hand watered!

All in all, more or less 2,000 orchids, Bueszz.

Oh my... it's that I've seen your pictures otherwise I wouldn't believe that.
You need less time watering +/- 2000 than I need watering 20. ROFLOL.

Yes, I do believe this is a lovely place to spent your time! During blooming seazon it must be a spectacular sight!
