I would love one, but the pros and cons have convinced me against it. I only have about 26 orchids, which includes 3 near deathbphals in semi hydro. I really do not think I will ever get more than 100. I am not interested in expanding to flasking or sales. I am not that interested in rare or hard to care for orchids.
I am working on some terrarium set ups for masdivalias and minis.
I am also about 3 years from buying a house, and will be looking for one with plnty of windows and possibly a solarium. I've seen a lot of wonderful things done with catch water pans and pvc plumbing which make indoor watering a snap.
Now I could get a tiny one for starting tomatoes and such for the garden, but I am sure that could be done in the house under lights as well.
Oh well, those are my reasons not to want a green house.

By the way, a neighbors garage was half crushed by a falling tree. When he rebuilt, he put a bunch of windows in, instead of a wall and uses that area as a green house. There are also green houses that are extentions of the house that actually act as solar sinks, and actually help with heating. Look up passive solar. A green house can be a powerful tool for keeping heat and humidity inside the house.

There are also small lean-to green houses (gable end greenhouses) that fit over a door or window.
