This doesn't count all of the 10 for $50 -- I haven't written them down yet.
I just bought some shelves from Lowe's and they're on that for now, on my deck under the pear tree.
This winter, they'll have to go in the sunroom. I'm putting up a temporary greenhouse this winter where I can hopefully keep all of my ferns alive. And if the ferns are outside, that opens up lots of room in the sunroom for orchids!
What I don't have figured out yet is how to get the humidity up in my sunroom this winter. It's open to the kitchen, so I don't know if a humidifier will work. I bought a single humidity tray from Oak Hill Gardens. It is nice, but at $20 for one, I'll go broke if I buy enough for all the orchids. Any suggestions?

I would like an orchid with the name Chocolate Chip :c) Cute...
I was trying to think of a way to put a humidifier slightly above the orchid shelf - so when the mist comes out, it comes onto most of the orchids on the way down.
ALSO there are those cheap plastic "bowls" at Walmart - you can put rocks in the bottom and then water. I do that with some of my orchids. I can fit a couple in some of those bowls... :c)

carl, sounds like quite the bank-buster! as for humidity...you might want to read this article: Ray's humidity article

To summarize, "humidity trays" are probably ineffective. BTW, I intend to test this a little bit later with my experiment.

THe Mini Mark is in spike, its in bud, its in flower!!!
THe Bulbo is nice and thick, the Keffer is nice and bushy, and the Ang. is nice and slender.

Got TIKVA's and my plants yesterday. I sent in the order on Monday 10:31 am and here I have it on Thursday. Can't beat that.
MAN THE PLANTS WERE COOOOOOL. Very healthy.
I got a dend macrop, sedi jap and neo falc in addition to the Ang Scot. I wanted more
Chysis Brac, Coe cris, Catt Lute, etc, etc and etc.
But couldn't afford now and so stopped with just 3 more.
NOW TIKVA and ME will meet and exchange plants.
TIK - WE GOT THE Discount on the bill.

Oh yes I forgot to say that I recieved Marco's Ang. scott and Phal violeacae, also in nice condition. I suppose I'll meet up with him sooner or later.
