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

My daughter is sick and home from school today. I am pretty bored. When i went out to water the greenhouse I took a few new photos.
This is the kind of thing I like to do.
This is a large Philodendron ilsmanii variegated. Its about 4 ft up the totem (its a 12 ft totem and I expect it to get to the top and come back down within a year). It has a spread of about 6 ft and the individual leaves are about 18" long. I know its hard to see because it isn't in bloom, but RIGHT THERE in the center where the Philo ends, there is also a cattleya orchid mounted to the totem. Once the Philo climbs another 2 ft, I will put another orchid on, then 2 feet of philo, and another orchid and so on and so on.

This is a Dendrochilum cobbiatum I have had for about 2 years. Its currently in bloom, I know its a little hard to see, but it has 9 spikes radiating out 
The orchid below it, whose tops you can just see, is a big mounted Oncidium and if you look carefully you can see 3 spikes (about 3 ft long each) coming up from it

This is my King of Spades Philodendron. It grows right next to another 12 ft totem that has about a 7-8 ft terete vanda mounted to it, but it didn't really get into the photo very well. In addition to the Vanda are a few dends and other small orchids on the same totem

and this is a wide shot of a few of the large vandaceous up in the attic. The one in the corner is an Aerides mounted to driftwood, there are also several B. nodosa on the same mount. I think there is a closeup of this in my gallery. The others are large vandas, the biggest one, the pink one in bloom (Highland Treasure) has an overall length with roots of about 8 feet. There is another large one beside it that's about 5-6 ft, and at the bottom a basket of "Yellow Bird" that blooms almost continuously. Its hard to get shots of individual things sometimes because the entire area of the greenhouse floor is planted, with 3 small paths that run through it. SOmetimes the right vantage point is hard to find 
Oops no, it isn...that's a barecane dend just popping out into bloom! Sorry, hafta go back and locate the Vanda photo!

You know, I think I could grow this puppy! I have best Dendro luck with deciduous ones that like cool winters and lotsa light.
