Default wardian case plans?

I know I've seen some wardian case plans in a magazine or online in the last
couple years, but I can't remember where. We're thinking about building one
for our society to use at shows. Could anyone point me to some plans?

Thanks,
danny

Danny,

How big?

The Pleurothallid Alliance of the Bay Area has a huge traveling wardian case
we use for shows - it breaks down and fits in the back of a van. It takes a
few hours to assemble/disassemble and requires at least two people to
assemble.

Email me directly and I will give you Joe Parker's email address - he
designed and built the case, I believe.

Wow Eric! What a beautiful collection of orchid-photos on Flickr you
have. This will keep me of the street for some hours ;-)

I saw that one at the Sonoma show, it's a bit more than we need :-) I was
actually thinking of a smaller rectangular one, it may have been from Lynn
O'Shaughnessy? I need to look back through my magazines and see if I can
find it.

danny,

Did you google 'wardian case plans'? The 5th one down leads you to a case
made from a 55 gallon aquarium by Prem Subrahmanyam. He includes a list of
materials and cost.

There may be others.

Bob
