Moving into an old greenhouse!

[John Boy]

Every time i come back here....: There are no pictures?! You just need staff Chris.

Big gh!!! You have some very nice stuff growing in there!! Good luck

 

[Shiva]

Pictures at last. Wonderful! The plants look happy. What's the range of temperatures you're growing in?

 

[Ross]

Things are really coming together! You've obviously spent a lot of time getting set and organized. Impressive!:clap:

 

[likespaphs]

photos look groovy!
were you able to grab that free dosatron or did you have to buy it?

 

[Justin]

awesome greenhouse! congrats and looks like the hard work payed off.

 

[Wendelin]

Great place, chris! :clap: A lot of nice plants and space for a lot more to come! :wink:
I like your dog!

 

[Scott Ware]

Great photos, Chris. You have really put your heart into making a wonderful environment for your orchids.

Oh, and thanks for the memories - I don't think I have seen that much open bench space between plants since the Nixon administration.

While scanning the album thumbnails I saw the caption, "Sleepy puppy Joy," before I saw the photo, and immediately wondered whether Joseph Wu had released a new phalaenopsis clone.

Nice pix! Diggin' Ross' (helen x barbi)s and the Bengal Lancer.

 

[NYEric]

Thanks for the link. Looking good. Can you coopy and paste some individual images here?

 

[SlipperFan]

What a wonderful greenhouse, Chris! So light and airy, and room to increase your collection -- no wonder you are so excited!

60 nights to in high eighties days. I keep the far end cooler with that roll-up of plastic that I adjust seasonally to admit more or less direct outside air.

 

[chrismende]

This whole setup was purchased.

That Bengal Lancers is 'Indian Durbar'
AM/AOS, from Rod Knowles three years ago. First bloom of a division.

 

[chrismende]

check again, John Boy! See link under "pictures at last!"

 

[chrismende]

thanks! The plants are generally happy. Soon to be happier as they adjust to more light and a more accurate and regular fertilization!

 

[chrismende]

Thanks, Ross! Lookin' forward to more plants from you, too!

 

[chrismende]

You'll have to clue me in on the Joseph Wu reference. Don't know enough about phal breeders, yet!

 

[chrismende]

Yes, the hard work is now really paying off. I still have to figure out how to store lots of stuff, though. (without taking up too much valuable bench space!)
The space is filling up really fast!

 

[chrismende]

Never satisfied, huh! Sure - but believe me I have little time right now to do any more than I have. Just took the puppy in to the vet to get a nectarine pit out of her! Thank goodness she vomited it up and didn't need surgery! Money is really tight with all these greenhouse investments, and my time is really impacted. However, it will all even out soon, and I'll get a routine going about posting images. Forgive my long process. Gotta attend to all the babies before anything else!
