Guess this means I'm truely an orchid addict now
 
Hi there,,,

I have been growing orchids close to 3 years. Most of my orchids are warm growing species and most are mounted or in baskets. I'm pretty sure I'm hooked now too cause I just built a small greenhouse :lol: I was going to post a picture of it but I can't figure out how to do it here. :scratchhead: Hopefully, I will figure it out by the time I get the finishing touches done on the greenhouse.

About a year ago, I started to import orchid flasks from Thialand and am doing quite well growing up vandaceous hybrids. I had tried flasks before that with little success so I'm very please I have at least certain types I can do well with now. Other sucesses have been with stanhopeas and dendrobiums. My goal is to start having some of these babies ready to sell in a few years.

Anyway,,,this looks like a great place and I just wanted to say hi and happy holidays to all!!!!

edit: I put some pictures of the greenhouse in the gallery

Jump right in to the discussions - there are a few going on about heating greenhouses, lighting, etc. that may be of interest to you. You experiences would be very welcome!

Thanks for the kind words and the info on posting pictures. :biggrin: It sure is a lot easier to keep the humidity up and to water those plants in a greenhouse.
