Todd, you got a chuckle over that. I still have very few orchids in the house (just 2 cyms in a cold corner of the kitchen). The rest are in my waiting room and oozing into the office in the big barn. These seedlings are on a big radiator in my livingroom (south light). Unfortunately I messed up by putting assorted pots into a big flat so the dome doesn't fit tight and I'm spraying madly with the low temps/radiators clanking away. Across the way in the diningroom (see pic), I have a picture window (north light) full of hippeastrums in various stages and also in the TV room (17 all together). Then further down on that side the 2 cyms and a mini rose are sitting next to the north back door (mostly glass) in the cold corner on a small white table. There are more plants upstairs (south and east) and in the cold bathroom upstairs (40 degrees F) are a crop of epis in dormancy, etc. Bottom line, orchids are my newest obsession but there are many more-and then there are the irises, roses, peonies, hollyhocks and the 200 varieties of daylilies outside. I get exhausted just thinking about it!

dmj, let's definitely compare pics! Cypellas still not up.
