This phal has grown so large that it almost tips the pot over. It is my original orchid and was last repotted 3 years ago. After repotting, it started growing fast. Many times it would have 2 or 3...

I have a gongora at my desk. It sits on the top of my cube. They can get quite large so that is a downside. Mine at work is currently working on the second flowering stalk of the fall.

I was watering one of my dendros that is in S/H and noticed that moss is growing in the pot. This isn't the algae that grows in the bottom but the fuzzy moss found in the yard. It is in about 25%...
