I'm with Diane, the Nematanthus castenet is a very cool looking flower! Your orchids are very pretty too cflowr, thanks for sharing.

Rob's Violet Barn is hard to beat for selection Diane but be prepared to baby the little things for awhile. I bought semi mini violets and streps from him last spring and the violets definitely did better than the streps for me. Maybe because they are supposed to stay fairly small anyway. I like Brennan's Orchids for nice healthy sized streps but their selection is small.

Sally those "bears" are made out of a burnished brown metal of some kind. I found them on clearance this past fall and for being just a simple cut out type thing they still grab our eye. Our two little dogs barked and barked at them when I first put them up. LOL

These four streps in my office window were all from Rob's last June and they have been in here getting babied but it has finally paid off.
