shakkai is right. they sell a variety ceramic tile drill bits at just about any big box store. tape up the pot and drill away. any of my chids that like a lot of air movement around the roots i put in clay pots and drill holes in them. works like a charm. what kind of idea do you have?

I'm kind of thinking about drilling through sake cups..... but I don't know how well that will work. I'd have to find the right cups too.....


But it would look really neat to have the set of sake cups and a sake bottle to mount neos

Well, I picked up my cute little Neofinetia falcata this weekend at the Ann Arbor show. I must say that I think my orchid addiction has now gotten worse!

I will try to post photos in the next few days, but things are quite chaotic with finals next week.

Becca, beautiful orchids!

Cheryl, so sorry to hear of the bud blast. How disappointing.



Ok guys, I need help. How in the world do you resize your photos so that they can be posted?

Until, I figure that out, my project photos are posted in the galleries. Sorry they aren't that great...my camera is quite old and I am not exactly a natural when it comes to photography! Hopefully when I have more time, I can find my parents' camera and take better photos.

Becca, Nice plants

Cheryl, I am so sorry...

hhmm... after having seen the Neo. falcata Hisui that some of you have received from NWO I am starting to wonder if I really have a Hisui. My plant looks so different: the leaves are shorter abd thicker, more "bean shaped"

Becca, Really cool plants! They're lovely! Thanks for the

Cheryl, Its so sad about the buds blasting! You never know, though, it could just send out another spike to make up for it!!

Ramón, Hmmm... a mystery! I don't have a clue... but maybe there are variations? This is the green flowered one, yes? You are just going to have to bloom it so that we can see if its green!!
