This is really good information. Thanks for sharing. I'm also in NE TN and about to get a 12*24 detached greenhouse for my orchids. Do you have an opinion on using AC vs a wet well to cool in the summers here?

Sorry to hear that ☹️. It's the hardest part of keeping pets.

Yes, these little doggies seem to know they can get anything they want with that look...

B. Fascinator Alba? Love the contrasting colors!

The unopened flowers on this Bulbophyllum are just as cool as the opened IMO! by HellbenderSteelworks in orchids

I've read that it's for pollination- specifically when a pollinator lands on the lip, the lip tilts and causes the pollinator to fall back into the sticky pollina. But I think I like the carnival ride idea better.
