I counted 50 pots. Wow. That's it? And I'm already out of space.
BS = previously bloomed, most multi growth
(Whiner = doesn't like hot bright conditions...)
Majority from Windy Hill, some from Orchid Inn, catasetums from SVO, others society meeting pickups or eBay.

It's a nice start.

.....(Whiner = doesn't like hot bright conditions...)

:rollhappy::rollhappy::rollhappy: I was wondering about that!
Have you not learned to appreciate shade lovers yet?
Boy will that list grow in no time!

Yup, hang around here, and it will grow exponentially!

 

[abax]

That looks like a nice shopping list for me. Thanks!

 

[Harlz]

Quite a nice mix of plants there, eclectic even.

LOL at your whiners. I've got a few of those too but I haven't worked out if it's my growing medium, light or some other condition. But that's all part of the fun innit? :rollhappy:

 

[AdamD]

Yes, it's a start. I have to be selective with such little space. But now the bulk majority of my spending is going towards building a shadehouse in the spring. Those compots aren't going to stay tiny forever (hopefully). It's a modest list but I've filled it with what I like. I have a feeling I'm going to look back at that list one day and wish I had the time to care for each individual plant the way I do now. But, the collection will grow. They always do. And Rose, I appreciate the shade lovers, they just don't appreciate me!

 

[orchideya]

Nice collection.
I am waiting for my Lady Isabel to spike, and waiting, and waiting....

 

[ALToronto]

Just wait till you get a couple of flasks...

 

[AdamD]

Just wait till you get a couple of flasks...

Already got one under my belt, potted out almost a month ago, so far out of about 37 seedlings I've managed to keep around 30 alive. They're actually growing new leaves too! Not just sulking like I anticipated. As you can see I have a total of 5 compots, 3 from that flask.

Update April 2014

Just thought I'd update. Since I have so few it's easy to do. The list has grown a bit, I'm in the middle of changing my collection to better suit my tastes. I highly doubt I'll be buying anything in the near future if it's not a multi species or catasetinae. Thanks for looking!

[SlipperFan]

Impressive. But it will grow...

 

[gnathaniel]

Very nice collection! I admire your focus, my plant collection is all over the map though WRT slippers I've mostly stuck with Parvis. If you feel the need to make room for more roths and kolos I'd be happy to take some Magic Lantern seedlings off your hands...

 

[abax]

Where's lowii??? Please tell me it didn't go to orchid heaven.

 

[AdamD]

Oh my gosh! I did forget to add it to the list Angela! It wasn't a recent purchase so I didn't have it documented. List amended. Thanks for pointing that out! It has found a happy home

Thanks! I'd be very interested in the future. They're still little guys, biggest maybe 3" ls. Good looking seedlings though. When the time is right...

 

[Ozpaph]

good growing

 

[AdamD]

Here's some pics. Sorry for the glare...

Most BS and NBS plants are under 400w HPS


Getting an LED for roths


Seedlings under 4 x 2' T5s


Orchideya asked about PEoY seedlings, first 3 pots in front row. I counted 23.


Small but growing! Next purchase, window AC unit! It's going to get hot soon.

 

[Justin]

looking good!

 

[orchideya]

They look great!
My sandies are much smaller, but I have re-potted them and probably provided some set back with that. You will be amaized how many new roots they have...
