And since you have to carry plants to the car, be sure to add an extra weight lifting rep to your work-out? Big Grin
Have fun you all!

It is indeed heavy artillery. That should do it.

I moved some more Orchids around today, since we need EASY access again to the deck. And we left the water in the pond last Fall, what a big mistake. We drained it totally and it needs to be again sanded and painted. I think I will simply line that pond with heavy plastic this year before I add water. Some of the hardy Waterlilies are starting to grow already, so we better get cracking.

I took the camera upstairs -

I am so glad it is warm enough in the greenhouse for the fan to kick in, WHEW. Bulbophyllum echinolabium is such a beautiful stinker, especially smelly in warm sunshine. I love the pretty curls at the end of the petals. ( next to the Blc Liese Pigors x)
