Anyone grow orchids on this board? I have a whole bunch of different plants from different species that I grow down here in FL.

Why yes, I do. :D

Here are some photos I've taken of my collection over the years. I only have one blooming right now, but this one has been really consistent and I've had it rebloom at least twice since I got it:





And some others:

No-name phal I picked up at Aldi.



Mini phal I got on clearance at some big box hardware store. Got it to rebloom once. It's dead now. :(





Phal. Allie Roteman x Ruey Lin Beauty, according to the tag.





Cattleya Beaufort Gold "Susan Fender" (I have no idea what these names mean). Another no-name phal because I am an idiot.



Paphiopedilum Odette Divine (Odette's Ghost "Big Flame" x Petula's Mystery "Ruby Glow").



I have a bunch of other no-name phals I got on clearance that have yet to spike, and I just picked up two new Cattleyas today.

That doesn't look like a cattleya to me...

That info on the tag is generally the name of the hybrid, and sometimes the person who came up with it. Or the species if that applies.

Ha, you're right. I think I posted the wrong photo. Not sure I have any pics of the Catt, but will get some when it blooms. Oops.
