    For the last 3 or so years I've been filling my space with houseplants, and then my small number of orchids suddenly turned into an orchid obsession about a year and a half ago, and now I have 50 or so, growing in/near windowsills in my apartment in Portland. I'm planning on moving to a drier part of the state later this year, and hoping that won't be too painful a change for the plants (with any luck, I'll get a place with more windowsill area, or maybe even a greenhouse, right??).

    I've got a mix of species and hybrids, but I'm partial to Dendrobiums, and I'm trying to grow a few very small species (seranicum and lichenastrum var prenticei) along with a bunch of the mostly easier hybrids. I've also been captivated by other tiny orchids, but I'm not ready to make the leap to a serious terrarium setup so I can buy more Lepanthes.
