Default Condo Jungle (not Congo....ConDO) :)

Here's a few of my set-up at home. This is my living room. I have a two bedroom condo, and all rooms except the second bedroom have fantastic light. It faces directly south, and the living room also has west facing windows. I have to use the shear curtains to filter some of it, I have too much light!! The realtor thought I was crazy when I said the number one priority was lots of big south facing windows.

I display a few blooming plants in the dining room, but there is just room for 4 - 6 plants there. I used to have a few in my bedroom too, but I adopted two kittens a few months ago, and they have decided the bedroom belongs to them. They had a meeting to discuss the orchids, and decided they didn't want any in their bedroom. So the living room is the nursury.

The second bedroom is a gym/office, and is the only room in the place that is fairly dark, so no orchids there. I have about 75 total I think. If you notice in any of these pics that I have room for more, respond and let me know, I will quickly fill the spot.

Default TV not for sale

LOL...Marco you are funny. Actually I hardly watch any television, usually just movies on DVD. So one would think I wouldn't invest on such a nice television. Here's where the orchids come in. My old TV just didn't fit in the spot with my entertainment center and all that, it took up WAY too much orchid space. So in perfect orchid addiction logic, I purchased a plasma TV and stand so that I could have more space for orchids!!

Nice grow area! Small TV's are the way to go. I don't like those giant in home theater tv systems look. People put those 5 foot screen tv's in their teeny living rooms, and all you see is dark screen cause you are too close to it. Plasma tv's, best thing since the cell phone!!!

Very nice!!! You could hang the TV on the wall, then you'd get more room!
