Tyler just for the record. At our center we don’t consider our students as lowly, you are in fact our future!

Leslie You are dancing with the stars!

To me these are pure elegance!

Update teaser I’m thinking of cork bark slabs to hang some mounted plants on so have put a few in temporarily to gauge the effect while I work out humidity etc.

Eric I have been thinking about your admonition. Can you say more about what led to the catastrophe? If its really an ugly story please feel free to PM.

The SVO list is very extensive. I had a shopping list of 12 or so before came to my senses. Be warned!

Me too :-))

Interesting idea. I was a marine engineer (Maritime) and that’s the sort of Rube Goldberg scheme I tend to ponder as well. I.E. for the humidity issue I’m playing with trays of water, an air pump and aquarium air stones.

Thats my plan at the moment. If I could figure out how to simply cool the tank I might try cooler growing species but not willing to A/C the whole garage.

Thank Eric, The case has two 4 in muffin fans. I have one moving air down and the other up which seems to be giving air movement. The unit came with 3 two tube light fixtures which seems to add approximately 10 degrees. I am concerned about summer temps if I try anything other than tough...

One of the many questions I get to ponder like what to grow then how to manage. Will start with ambients and track the range. The unit is in the garage which will see a wider range than in the house. We have warm summers and cooler winters. I’m currently thinking mounted intermediate species...

Wardian case UPDATE it’s assembled now the fun begins

Very nice! Congratulations

Alan Koch at Gold Country Orchids has a nice bunch of Sarcs also.

Yes! Darlene, a Slippertalk-non slipper forum- Lycaste sub cult emerges. Yellow-green w/yellow I’m gonna get me one too!

WOW Irrespective of air you technical details that is a truly elegant flower!

I was sure I sent this previously but can’t find my response on the thread so here is an in process photo. I have now cleaned everything up and found some little bits I needed. I should have it reassembled next week then to figure out what to put in it. Probably mostly mounted miniatures.

Darlene. It’s true, fear, threats and sometimes abandonment are great motivators. The red Sarcs are really beautiful resulting from years of intense selective line breeding of the foundation species (hartmanii and fitzgeraldi ) by Scott Barrie. Fred Clarke tweaked them even more.

Beautiful display and a very nice variety. Don’t know about your yogurt hack maybe Ray will weigh in on that.
