Got my 2nd greenhouse up and running and the propane is rolling through and causing some wallet bleeding. Make me feel better. How much is your gas bill for your g.h. per month in the winter? I know you folks with snow are going to cheer me up really quick!

I've noticed over the last year, that I've had a large percentage of bandwidth use of my site and I've been unable to track where the use was coming from. Finally, I've tracked it down to some Russian forums and sites. They are hot-linking my photos and I see lots of familiar names and photos...

Sadly, Frank Fordyce passed away this morning. His breeding and knowledge will be missed.

My daughter entered an artwork contest online and there's a daily vote for 2 weeks. The highest votes go to judging and she could win a new computer or one of several $500 scholarships. I'd appreciate it if you could vote and if you're so inclined every day...

Well, I'm about a week or two away from starting my ebb and flow venture with phrags. Since phrags don't care for heaving feeding, I will have to experiment with foliar feeding and what I put in my solution. Anyone grow phrags this way? I'd appreciate any tips or caveats as this will be new...

My husband is a runner. Having been in quite a few races, marathons etc. he received a notice that he could receive a free pair of micro socks from a company that carries mainly running, camping and hiking gear. To our surprise and dismay, this is what arrives via UPS on our doorstep today...

You must watch the whole thing. I feel like feline owl most days. I never knew this animal existed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCgbYnNAbSM

This a first time bloomer for me. I think I picked it up from Andy's a couple of years ago. I grow it probably warmer than it would like but it has still grown and seems to be fine since it's now blooming. I think this is a very under rated genus. I love arpophyllums! I grow it mounted in...

Anyone have compacted decomposed granite floors in your g.h.? If so, would you do it over again?

You should see the outside on the night of...

I'm researching getting some bench tops for the new g.h. I currently have expanded metal ones in my g.h. but for the new one I'm thinking of plastic ones. Maybe Dura-Bench as they're interlocking. Anyone have these or something similar? Opinion of them?

An interesting article posted on one of my orchid lists this morning. http://www.kuenselonline.com/2010/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=16898

I've decided to part with a few of the flasks I recently picked up from the lab. Here's a photo of them: Here are the parents: The cross is Blc. Chrissy Compton and the flasks have at least 25 seedlings ready for compotting. I'd like $40 plus shipping USPS $6.00 to a US address...

This time to a bunch of flasklings that have been in the works for a year. My paph flasks are on their way, but still need some time in the lab. Looks like I'm going to be having a few hundred catts in bloom in about 5-7 years:>

Here's a couple of pics of my plant that I bought at the POE in Feb.(?) this year. It's a cute little bugger. It gets a lot of humidity and so far is doing well for me.

This may be the smallest mini I've got. It's a first time bloomer for me, growing mounted by my fogger in the g.h. It likes to dry out and although it likes humidity, it doesn't like to be wet.

What should I do next? I've run plenty of PVC water line. I have lots of experience with broken irrigation pipes, running new lines off of existing etc. But this, I've never done before. Here's the line I need to run my new g.h. water line off of. It's a "live" line meaning I have to turn...

So, I went into the g.h. today to get some paph photos. For anyone who's noticed I've not posted paph pics in a long time, here's why. My computer died about 6-8 months ago and my new computer didn't take my older version of Photoshop. So, I was rather perturbed I'd have to spend more $ on...

Rick called me out on a couple joke links I'd posted and I immediately got defensive, but thought more about it and decided he was right. I deleted the threads. I hope I didn't offend anyone with what I considered funny. But, it's very true, I shouldn't post them on a public forum that...

Please ignore PM's from PreawPex asking you to join his "gamer" forum. Unless of course you are a true gamer dork. :> He's been deleted.
