I talked with another contractor today. I don't think his idea is as robust as the first but he is talking between 25 to 30 thousand for the job. You would think for that I would get girls in hoola skirts to fan the orchids 24/7.

Jim

Right!! For that amount I know some unemployed folks I could send you! Can you go with the first guy?

Yes, if he comes up with a competitive price. So far I have no estimate from him.

Jim

I like your alternate solution, very funny!!

Me too but I've had a hard time getting it past my wife.

Jim

I bet!

Today was moving day! After a rough start...somehow the faucet on our whirlpool tub got
nudged last night...cat..dog? and the tub filled completely up with ice cold water. The Phals.
that had been calling that home had floated out of their pots, what a colossal mess
Once I got that all cleaned up and everyone back in a pot I was able to move the collection out
side , across the patio to their new home.

Oh Lindsey they look so happy!!! But I hope you have the extension on order!!!!

Lindsey, it looks wonderful! A big congratulations from me and may all your Orchids thrive in their new environment!

Thanks so much! Kathy, I'm thinking I can go up another rack..double decker style then use a library ladder to
work on the plants higher up?!

So nice, I'm all colors of envy right now, not just GREEN! The only place we have for our orchids right now is what I call the Orchid Case, and it is over flowing with Phalaenopsis.

Donna , what a beautiful arrangement and photo! How many flowers are on the Phal at the top? Amazing!

Beautiful, Lindsey! I hope your Phals recover from their cold bath
Now the fun begins....

Donna, the Orchid case looks wonderful.

Those are happy happy orchids!!
Oh yes a library ladder!!

That Phalaenopsis had 13 flowers on it if I remember right. Unfortunately, all of these are NOIDs.

I sure hope the plants survive their cold bath too, Lindsey. But, I think that Phalaenopsis will do better than Cattleyas and some others in that situation.

About the cold bath, - if they are not flowering, they will be spiking now!

Half of them were in spike the other half, just tryn to grow roots

Lindsey, Congratulations!!!
The greenhouse looks wonderful and so inviting! I bet your plants love it!!
Sorry, folks, I have been away and then guests. A very busy time as our Boston friends came here to escape the weather and we have been taking them touring.

Janice! Good to see you!!
