New GH benches and some blooms

16 years ago

We got the rest of the benches set up along the back wall of the GH which gave me a lot more space. The also smell nice because they are made of cedar. The only thing left to do is put up the poles for the hanging plants. Of course DH now wants to take out part of the back wall and add on another 6-8'. I'm all for it but not until the weather warms up. There's no way I'm moving all these plants out while he does it! The orchids and passies are expecially happy in here. It's like my little refuge. I just come in and piddle around lock the doors and ignore everyone. lol.

Wow you have so many cool plants. What is that in the 3rd picture? And is that yellow one in pic 7 an african impatien? I saw those in my burpee catalog they look really cool, I never even thought about overwintering them I figured they were annuals. I hope one of the garden centers around here gets those. Very Nice! I envy your orchids, I have 2 phals and 2 oncs, None are even a year old. One of my phals did rebloom once after the original spike, how often do yours bloom?

They all look very happy to be in there. Your orchids are beautiful. It is great that you have a place just for you to relax and get away from it all - even if just for a little while.
One of my phals rebloomed too lately. I'm really just getting started in orchids~been putting it off cuz I know an addiction when I see one LOL!

Thanks. I wander out there all hours of the day and night. It's better then hiding out in the bathroom. lol The 3rd pic is cattleya orchid buds. Most of my orchids only bloom once or twice a year. The oncidiums and lady slippers will occasionally bloom more often. Now that I have somewhere with enough humidity I'm finally going to get a Medussa. It's a type of bulbophyllum orchid. The yellow one is an auricoma impatiens, Jungle Gold, which unlike the niamniamensis (African impatiens) is an annual. I started some from seed and will see how long I can keep them going.
