Oh geez, Jim, it's a beauty but hardly worth all that trouble and travail. As long as you didn't topple and break any parts of you!

Next time I see you, I'm giving you a pike pole like mine to hang those high up pots! That way as long as they're not too heavy, you can get them down and put them back up without climbing a ladder!

I saw a big Den at the Venice show last year that looked a lot like that. Tons of nice white flowers. I forget the name, but it was nicknamed the "thunderstorm orchid" or something like that, because the first storms of the season seemed to make it burst into bloom. Found it under that name at Carter & Holmes - Den. crumenatum. It says it is dependent upon a drop in barometric pressure and temperature to induce blooming. Well, we've certainly had a few of those!
