Here is a photo series of me and friends setting up my orchid display last week.

The blank slate...
...the mine entrance is added along with a few immitation rocks and the styrofoam base...
...the plants are brought in to begin the staging process...here are a few from my collection...
...this is my Ctt. Gold Digger 'Fuchs Mandarin', which will be placed as the centerpiece...the photo was taken after the first bit of drama it caused, but before the second it was involved in...I fell into our swimming pool while cleaning it, and it actually fell over on top of itself before we got it secured in the display...yikes!
...here is my Dendrobium Adastra just hanging around...
...the mulch has been delivered...
...here is my friend Tom, who was in coherts with me for putting the display up...he has just secured the sign and is getting the mine entrance backdrop secured in place...
...more plants being staged...
...ah, the trees have arrived!
Here we have moved the large tree to the opposite side to try and hide our neighbor's prop, and we've started wiring a few plants to our not-so-live tree...

...more to follow on the next section...
