So with threat of frost and some time between clients and doctor appts I started to move my hoyas inside so I could free up the shelves.
Oh no there's a hoya peduncle with buds embedded in the screen on top! No worries! I managed to gently coax it through the tiny holes. Then I moved all the hoyas in and DBF took a walk around the barn with the shelves for me.
Here they are in place and starting to get filled. I also emptied the tables of laelias to the cold room and brought in the tables from outside.
Oops! Forgot the leaky window. I need to plastic it on both sides before any more orchids come in. My son arrived to mow and I asked him to get window plastic. Then he helped me get it sealed inside and out.
Then I had some clients and as soon as they left we went to work. My son brought them in and I found places to put them. The place was teaming with orchids on every surface!
I was stressed and declared it the chocolate time of day.
I carried all the cool growers up to the cool room and took off for a doctor's appt. When I came back I moved the phal rack from here to here.
And the final pics....I'll be up extra early tomorrow (5:30AM) so I'll have time to get used to the new routine. Still have the cyms to move in.
New shelves for little guys.
