This orchid paradise is a must see!
Hmmm... Not sure if this is the place for these pics. A few weeks back I went to go visit some tropical greenhouses in the Netherlands, not too far from my university.
It's called the OrchidëeenHoeve(orchid farm) It is asolutely stunning. They have a couple thousand square meters of greenhouses set up to look like a jungle. There are over 3000 different orchids on display, both species and hybrids. I stayed there nearly 5 hours! 
I hope the link to the pictures works.

So if you're ever in the Netherlands, this is a must see!

Great pics Camille! I've often wondered, though, being so far north, how much do you have to rely on artifical light to get your plants through the winter?

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.)
