Thank you Richard for these beautiful photos. I'm glad you
are back in the greenhouse with camera in hand, and I hope
you are able to retrieve at least some of your pictures from this
site.Vanda tricolor var. suavis is a very pretty plant, are they giant
plants?

I have one that isn't too big but I haven't bloomed it yet.

Vanda tricolor gets to be a good size Vanda, nothing mini about it. I am waiting for my small plant to grow up....

Well, since the extension is probably not going to happen for some time, I better
stick to plants that will sit on a shelf!

But won't you hang them from the peak? You need to get inspired by Bree!!

I have a bar in the center for the Vandas and others and nowadays quite a few lighter ( in weight) hang from the ceiling.

Well after seeing Jim's this past winter, 4 feet of roots coiled up in wheelbarrow...I'de have to crawl
around on the floor to stay out of their way!

Most of mine are smaller and still bloom.

Thank you all for your kind comments, I am feeling much better now. It was sad to lose my pictures,they were not just orchids but of the Gardens over the seasons.I post on other websites (cubits British Gardens, and growsonyou/rbtkew) as I like to show people just what an amazing place I have the good fortune to work in. Spring is here so I can start afresh.

You have a great attitude!! Glad you are feeling better!
