    In the spirit of Wally's post, I took my camera out to the GH today. Here are some of the pics I took.

    Here is a catt coerulea with a new lead that a good friend gave me last year (or maybe it was earlier this year, I forget). In the background is a dendrophylax funalis with three spikes.

    Here is a superior form of bulbophyllum blumei. This is the first time I've seen it pull a Britney with a flower. Flower is c. 6" tall.

    I bought this bulbophyllum fletcherianum on eBay a few years ago. It wasn't doing very well in the basement, but the 24" leaf on the left is the first growth after moving to the GH. It formed in July, and by September it was over 20".

    A phalaenopsis wilsonii that hasn't had leaves since 2005. Longest roots are c. 24".

    One of my first orchids: phrag Sedenii

    There are more images in my greenhouse album.

    Thanks for looking!

    It only gives me one flower at a time for some reason. I would prolly spring a leak if it gave me a large flush of blooms at once.

    Yeah. I still chat with him. He's good for a laugh or two.

    Awesome Jon. Love the Monosepalum picture. Someday after I shed my portable <400 square foot life I will have a decent greenhouse.

    Figured I'd add one more pic from my album. I got this zootrophion species for $6. The tag said "zootrophion species spectacular flower". So I added the clonal name 'Jon'. Still don't know what it is.

    The zootrophion doesn't happen to be a Petite Plaisance goodie?

    The GH? A little over a year. I built it last summer. All by myself; unlike some other people I know. *Jon glances at Forrest*
