Blc. Harlequin 'Clare'
Lord, no, never count the costs. That might interfere seriously with buying
more orchids or paraphernalia! Tom Nikon Coolpix 5700 (Please remove appendix to reply by e-mail) From: Organization: Comcast Online Newsgroups: rec.gardens.orchids Date: Sun, 03 Aug 2003 12:43:19 GMT Subject: Blc. Harlequin 'Clare' Thanks for the info. I'm just starting buy lights and have 4 fluorescent tubes. I'd love to have what you've got, but I think I need to call in an electrician and have another circuit dedicated to my growing area. Sigh. Sometimes I think that raising polo ponies would be a cheaper hobby. I wonder if anyone ever keeps track of how much their hobby costs (plants, plants that die, bark, etc.). In article , Steve wrote: That one grows under a combo light... 400 W Metal halide AND 400 W HPS. 800 Watts total. My brightest area. It needs bright light to bloom. I actually had the plant for close to 20 years and only bloomed it once at about year 15 (guessing). Once I got the brighter lights I bloom it regularly. Twice in 8 months this time. Of course I was a beginner when I got it and had no idea it needed more light than my other Catts. In another part of the basement I have a 400 W. MH light and 12, 4 foot fluorescent tubes right next to it. I can bloom ALMOST anything there. Steve |

Don't forget the mental health benefits of all the beauty.... must be some payoff here. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |

Maybe a little hint of lemon smell. It smells like a slightly unripe lemon. Not too exciting as far as I'm concerned. Well Steve, I thank you for that.. LOL I can just picture you all smelling it, and then asking, well contest #1, what is your guess.. Too cute.. Lynn |
