That was an absolute FEAST for the eyes, thanks for sharing. I was particularly impressed by the Vanda orchids, amazing roots!!

I suspect you have to be an expert to grow the vanda orchids. Most of mine are pretty standard though I did buy a fancy ladyslipper one with a deep red almost black flower. Unfortunately the bud didn't open this year and decided to stall and dry out even though it got enough water. Maybe next year it will look like this
Wowww that's an awesome lady slipper~ sorry it didn't work out this year. And now a whole year more of waiting. I had one of my orchids almost in bloom, then... #CATS. I know it was one of them that did it, broke the whole stem right off. I tried putting it in water to hope it would open but no luck.
I have a wild lady slipper that grows here in my yard. It's nowhere near as magnificent as that one. Pink and brown hahaha. Bad combo, but whatevs, I don't have to care for it so there's that...
Oomph yeah the buds are easy to knock off. one year I accidentally knocked over my chocolate orchid and most the buds fell off before they got a chance to bloom. Maybe one day I can get a greenhouse setup going for a better orchid environment (safe from me knocking them over lol).
