Thanks folks for your posts....

Ursula, I'll check that Potinara Hoku Gem 'Sunspots' out.. And didn't even think about the clamp lamps in a pinch, but that would be an easy fix...

Ken, Guess winter hours are just cut in general, green house or not.. Guess I always thought if you have a greenhouse then the plants would be getting all the light they need.... didn't think about less light in the winter...

Lindsey, That's good to here, and really encouraging for my newly acquired hobby. Good thing I'm single, don't think many folks want to live somewhere the window dressings are plants. hehe Love the come back to life story... I have Bonsai and they've done that in the past. Dropped their leaves and didn't do anything, thought for sure it was a goner... Glad it didn't make it to the bone pile, since then they stay around 1 extra year just to make sure they are really really dead....

Alice, Nice to hear from you...I do think your right... We do have great growing conditions here, and my tropicals come in and do well in my windows.. but ya know I'm really surprised that they don't sell or even promote orchids in this area.
