my growing space

for the moment, most of my plants are grown inside an outdoor greenhouse:

these are pictures dating back to the first weeks, when I was "filling" the available space with divisions of my stock, mainly Masdevallias:

 

here are more recent pictures, space almost completely filled:

 

and here is the "indoor greenhouse" in which I was growing my plants until recently.

 

Gordon, I've just finished dismantling the "indoor greenhouse" , as I need more space to stock flasks, and my house is ridiculously small ;-) I have to choose!
Now I realize that I have most plants/clones in multiple divisions, I try ton convince me I should put some on ebay... there is almost no more available space in the greenhouse, and so many flasks are waiting to be deflasked

 

Yes, it is Vanda coerulea. I've it since last fall, and as it has very well survived this long and cold winter, I suppose I migh be able to grow it correctly. my 2 plants of that species are spiking now. I've also tried some warmer growers, which I'll probably have to bring inside my home for winter (some Renanthera, Rhynchostylis retusa, Aerides multiflora), and a few other cool/intermediate vandaceae like several Holcoglossum, Vanda cristata, Esmeralda clarckei, and of course many Neofinetias!

In the greenhouse, I've tried to maintain a minimum of 8°C this winter, but have had a few short periods down to 6°C.
I intend this year to try and maintain at least 10°C night. now, in summer, most nights go down to 15°C, sometimes 18°C for several days in case of hot spell.

And in the room where I "store" warmer growing plants during winter, in front of a big south facing window, I've a night minimum of 13°C. a bit more in the terrariums, where I overwinter the warmer miniature/mounted plants.
