Thank you Des
Sometimes I really wish I could get a job in a warmer country. With more humidity and no winters. I'm sick and tired of snow and short summers.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Gormegil,can you imagine i have never seen snow!
However, I would swap you the snow for a good nights sleep, thats how bad crime is here. You have to try and sleep with one eye open.My daughter and family have just emigrated to Australia after being victims of crime.

To never have seen snow is, for me a strange thought.
Come to Norway in desember and I will loan you my cabin in the mountain

Is it really that bad in Port Elizabeth?
I guess I have a lot to learn and have a safe place to be.

Hi Gormegil

Can you tell me the size measurements of your growing case and what lights are you using? Very nice orchids you are growing there.

Many thanks

Brett
