I've also begun collecting plastic containers and will experiment with drilling holes in some of the new lightweight pots to make my own orchid containers. HD had some nice deep ones for a song and I bought several. For the price, it's worth the attempt. The other thing I've purchased recently are the baskets used for water plants (available cheaply enough at Lowe's). These aren't terribly attractive, but placed inside something else might be OK. I'm more about function than form, though....
