Haven't added anything in awhile. Finally got around to taking a few bad pics.

Catasetinae take over. Look at the pic from April and the one now...



Happy seedlings



The last phrag I own, a survivor, spiking (Inca Embers 'Windy Hill AM/AOS)



Spiking Cyc. cooperi. 2nd bloom

 
Hell yes! They are repotted and growing roots like crazy. working on new leaves. Lost a few leaves on one but it's stabilized and growing. Great purchase, can't thank you enough.
 
Lol... goldenrose is right. Better get a greenhouse or designated grow area if you don't have one already
 
Troy, I built a room in my basement last fall. One 400w HPS light, one 250, and one T5 for seedlings. Aaaand, I'm out of space. Problem with greenhouse (besides lack of funds) is harsh winters. Last winter one day didn't get into positive degrees. Thinking about expanding the room. Ugh. It was an undertaking the first go around.
 
The 250w and the T5 are stacked. The problem I have now is with water dripping from pot to pot. I could put more T5s under the big HPS, but then the plants under it would be on the floor, which poses insect/algal problems. I have room for another bakers rack, but that is a backup plan for when the seedlings grow up. Then the load on the circuit breaker and eventually the extra energy costs would be the next problem. We're going to need a bigger boat.
 
Ok, after the sale I thought I should update. I'm sorry if you see a plant on there that was in the sale and I said was unavailable, it's not you, it's me. Some had sentimental value and I just couldn't cut the cord... Forgive me.

Thanks. I'm really excited for the 'Western Monarch' x 'Saltin Pepper' cross after seeing the one TON bloomed... Mine just started a new growth, but had a major spider mite setback... Hopeful for next year's blooming season, along with the 'Imperial Wings' x 'Titanic'
 
What a difference a year makes... Downsized considerably to spend less time with my hobby and more time with my family. Mission accomplished. My wife is going back to school in 2 weeks, so we'll have even less time then, but it will be worth it in the long run.

Decided to build a small (and I do mean small) shadehouse out back. It's a learning experience... 5' x 5', cost me less than $100 to build (minus shade cloth). So far so good, I believe. One drawback is that today the outdoor temp is 75F, but it's 90F inside. Might need more fans, more shade. Something to tinker with. Light on paphs is about 1500 fc. On catasetinae is about 4200 fc.

A very nice collection of Catesetums AdamD! Mine are still growing nicely, well, they started growing nicely. Just came out of hibernation and now growing like weeds. Again, thanks so very much. And I'm envious of your shadehouse!
