Looks like a lush oasis! What kind of lights are you using? Great setup

[orion57]

Thank you!!

Light:daylight for hybrids, turbo neons 2*55W for botanicals, 11h a day (I bought it on Ebay last month, but known to be really efficient)

This room is ESE oriented, so it has sun all day long, but not in winter, because the next house is too near.

This room is also about 15m long and 1.80m wide, all plants are here, looks like a jungle when you come in!!

Here's my question: Where did you get your gorgeous phal. equestris x venosa? This one is going on my 2009 orchid wishlist!

That's a great question - I first saw this primary hybrid on Alain Brochart's website, and even thought about recreating it (I have yet to get a venosa)

[orion57]

I got it in my favourite orchid's shop: Orchidessence in Metz, I can give you phone and adress, perhaps Evelyne can find one more for you

wow.. that hybrid is gorgeous... I could find it only in Phal Kuntrarti Rarashati 'Joy' (equestris X venosa) - Big Leaf Orchids

it would be nice to find it somewhere in europe..
