My light set-up







I have finally gotten the light cart set up with about 50 orchids growing under the lights. So far they seem to be going very well and several have started to grow spikes, thought I don't know if that can be attributed to the lights.

phalaenopsis amboinensis


I picked this one up with 3 spikes (and now a 4th) at the NCOS show. It is a really big beautiful plant, a great deal for $30!


The species comes from the Molucca Archipelago and it is named for the island of Ambonia. It has been used in breeding yellow hybrids

My newest and favorite paph. is now Toni Semple x liemianum

Tonis Semple = lowii x hanynaldiaum


I bought it at the NCOS meeting last sunday and I absolutly LOVE it-
