exasperatus2002 is on a distinguished road
I havent decided yet. So far I've been dappling with different types of orchids but now I think Im hooked on the Cattleya alliance. Dendro's grow to tall for my limited space and I love my Brassia but Its in a 12 inch bowl now and will be needing transplant within a year since its growing over the edge now. Cattleyas seem compact enough and short enough for my stand. I built a stand with 36" x 13" shelves spaced 24" apart. My Dendro now has a cane that If you count the flower spike on it, is a yard long. With out the spike, the cane is 27". Only two shelves are used for the orchids the others are not in the right position for plants so my wife hijacked them for knick nacks. I also have a Dendro keiki that I mounted and hanging on a cross brace.
