This is going to be a really fun thread to watch.

Me too!! Thanks! I have to agree with you there! I'm really happy with the dorsal.

Of course I had to shadow it in one of these! I'll make my photographer husband get real pics soon, and probably make a new thread.

Very pleasing to the eye!! I love a good fish tank.

Thank you, that helps! I can visualize that. And your old design sounds excellent. One of these days when I'm back in a house and ready to build my orchid empire I'll remember it.

How wide was your bench? The space I have available is only about a foot wide, which is alright for now being that I don't have many large plants in my collection. Living in a travel trailer does create some limits. 😅

I am scheming for another light this winter, and I want it to be high enough that I can put some of my bigger plants (Phrag Chuck Acker for instance, or my compact but still tall-blooming paph philippinense) under it while in sheath. I suppose the easiest thing would be to hang chains and thus I...

No need! Almost there! Looks more green in the halo than I expected, but I like it! I'm excited to see it fully open. Hopefully the little color break in the pouch won't be there next time.

Good news! The initial tiny ebay seedling I bought that got smashed in Miami is not dead yet and is growing a leaf and possibly a root!

So I kept thinking about what you guys said about the moss, and eyeing the plant... it just didn't feel right! I was worried the moss was on there too thick and tight, with the outer portion hardening to cement before the center dried. I decided to wet it down really well and just poke at it a...

Oooh the lighting of that picture helps differentiate where growths begin and end. Exciting!

I had never heard of this species, so thank you for the lesson!

I just upvoted your Reddit post 😂 It's stunning!

I was thinking more of a slow pull out of a rock crevice, one from lots of rain and that would take a long time to do any real damage and where the plant may have time to work on "holding on", as many slipper orchids grow in such places (and like limestone because of it). But I actually have no...

I know they like more frequent repotting. I'm not sure how much disturbance they get in nature from little creatures, weather etc. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a slight stress response adapted to hang on if the plant starts to wash out of a crevice somewhere in the wild. Regardless I know...

This was an entertaining post to read through. Thanks for the update!

Crossing fingers, toes, and eyes!

Bud update! Getting fatter. Soon? This next week maybe?

Please grow them as long as you need to 😬🤣

Yes, I keep it next to my phrag schlimii hybrid in my "cool" spot that is 50s-70s year round. I probably overpotted it, but those darn little roots were just long!
