Default Not Fancy, but it's functional

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to show off my set-up. Right now, I have 3 large plastic shelves I bought from Wal-Mart on my family's screened porch. I currently have over 60+ orchids. I try my best to organize them by type. The first shelf is mostly oncidiums and cattleyas, the second is mostly dendrobiums, and the third is mostly phalaenopsis. There are phal. on all three shelves, because they overtook their shelf a long time ago. I am hoping to have a greenhouse one day. Anyway here is the picture.

-Amanda

Looks nice, and you sure have a lot in bloom! I need to get something like that, I'm seriously running out of space on the windowsills.

Amanda, that isn't only functional, it's beautiful. All your plants look like they are very happy to have such a nice home. SOOOOO many blooms, you are doing something right.

Your babies are so happy!! I hope my phals blooms like yours

By the way, is that Nobby's Amy I see in the lower right corner?? They're soooo pretty with the pink blush against the white.

Great set up Amanda, extremely workable. I use the metal bakers rack, seems to help in my area where the light is less than an outdoor environment. How wonderful to walk out and see all those blooms they are definitely letting you know they are wtg ...
