Orchids
thanks you all Thumbs up .

Here is what I have built for my plants. Its covered over the top and the back side with aluminet 50% shade cloth that I didnt have when I took the picture. It has the front and one side to the yard open.
The hail blew in from the 2 open sides. Wouldnt take much solexx to cover it up. Thinking about it getting too hot when I get hit with 100 degree temps this summer. Trying not to build too much. I have to take this down when I move. I meant for it be portable Big Grin Its all fence rails and corner post from Home depot set into 5 gallon buckets filled with concrete. All the connections were tapped and screwed together. The planters all came from Home Depot too. I make about 3 trips a day to Lowes or Home Depot. I dont even need to have anything I just go lookin sometimes for things I can use. I built the deck you see too. I might end up putting an 8 x 10 mini solexx greenhouse up yet. I dont want to air condition the thing though and it gets too damn hot in them. Most people who have them here either air condition them or take their stuff outside for the summer. I have to do something now after getting swamped today.

I like purple flowers too. They got me started long ago. Im leaning towards going all white. Plain jane white flowers. I go blind from all the hypnotic colors. Give me white

I just ordered me a Snap and Grow 6 x 8 to go on my deck. Im not getting blasted by ice again. See you all with my new build next week. Even better would be if I found a life I seem to be missing Smiling
