Great growing!

Cool stuff. You have a lots of variety. Is there anything you specialize in, or do you just like to grow a little bit of everything? I know if I had a greenhouse, it'd be dedicated to phrags, then paphs, then oncidium alliance, with a sprinkling of everything else that catches my attention.

Anyway, as I said in the other thread, it must've taken you awhile to photograph all this stuff and get it posted on here, so thanks for that effort. It's really nice seeing all this wonderful stuff.

Thanks for sharing. Is the Chiloschista fragrant? I really need to get some.

 

[Erythrone]

Wonderful species! Very well grown !

Isn't a greenhouse redundant for Hawaii? Do you live on Mauna Kea?

 

[SlipperFan]

Wonderful greenhouse!

 

[Chicago Chad]

Your unicum is just puking blooms. Well done. Do you know the flower count?

As usual your plants are stunning. My D. trantuanii is in flower now too, but not nearly as vigorous as yours.

i grow about 98% species. Focusing mainly on Paphiopedilum, Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis, Bulbophyllum and some angraecoids.

yes but mainly just in the mornings. i really love them. Im sure youd do good with one.

absolutley not. many people are able to grow under just shade but for a majority of things they need to be in a greenhouse. remember a greenhouse does not necessarily just have to be for protection from the cold. Many areas on the windward side of the islands here get well over 150" of rain a year. That lone needs protection, nevermind the intense sunlight.

thanks Chad! this is the first time its putting on a good show. i had a nice one a while back but it crashed when i tried to attach it to a mount. no idea the flower count.. a lot? its just a small plant. should be a good one when it gets mature.

Your thread is a virtual encyclopedia of lovely plants. I'm particularly pleased with how your Den. capituleferum is presented. I have a small edition of this plant and was wondering what its blooms look like. Are the flowers fragrant?
