Talking My Plants and From the Show

Ok, well my some of my photos are to big to upload :-( The first picture is my plants and the rest are from the orchid show. How can I resize, let me check the photography section to see if there are ant tips there. Sorry. I do have more pictures of mine closer up but have not uploaded to the computer yet. One of the phals I got at the show from Hoosier orchids had a slug in the roots and had a little damage on the older leaves so it is recovering from that now. It is the little one back row right. It's fragrant but I can't remember the name of it, smells like lemons. I'll have to email Leon from Hoosier orchids and find out the name today. Back row left is Brother Sarah phal, middle is Regal Bells X ( can't remember will check and edit when I get home from work) about 2 or 3 yrs old I'm guessing, front left is a hybrid jewel orchid called dream weaver, and far right front is ludisia discolor. I like the painted leaves:-) Any Indiana orchids geeks I'd love to meet some time so pm me. The ludisia discolor is three pieces now, I am planning on taking the two smaller ones out soon and repotting separately, those things grow all over the place. Right now I am trying to get them to grow in a little bit of a different direction as they had been moved several times so they are kind of in funny directions. The brother Sarah was a Kroger rescue, half rotted under the sphag when I bought it, roots are recovering nicely and I have one climbing over the edge of the pot now. I did loose a leave last year but it grew 2 new ones that season. I have lost a few over the last three years due to pests, and a fungus issue. I keep them indoors for now under two desk lamps with full spectrum energy saving bulbs, a humidifier, and was using the ceiling fan but got a little fan over the weekend for them. I'm thinking about digging my humidity tray out of the garage to see if will fit on my plant dresser. My problem right now is a lack of space until I can get my own place. Oh yeah if you have myspace profile I have over 100 pictures from the orchid show posted, some of my other babies (frogs) and my favorite baby my three yr old, I think I listed the url in my profile for it.
