What are "cacti and succulents"? They sound to me like nuisances that
take up greenhouse space meant for more orchids.


I almost laughed myself off my chair reading your message. :-D My first
love were cacti and succulents. I've had some for over 40 years.

When I need more space for orchids I'll move the cacti and succulents to the
smaller HFGH next to the Rion. :-)))

I checked out the orchids at HD in another town today and came home with 2
news ones. A clumping orchid called an "Epidendrum Hybrid", 1/2 price
($10) as it was out of bloom and a $12 Phal with two spikes of buttercup
yellow flowers. :-))) They lowered the prices on their phals. They also
had a large selection of dens with really unusual flowers and colors. I
was sooooo tempted as they do so well for me.........sooooooo, sooooooo
tempted.

Now I have to look up the care for it.

Also picked up the Ortho Guide to Orchids... I have a feeling my
greenhouse is going to me primarily orchids, cacti and succulents. ;-)
