what I knew going in, was that this half hanging planter was not maximizing it's
full potential. Also, this orchid needed it's own space and let's dive in to make
this happen.
Separating these pot buddies of several years was not an issue. Finding pots
to house these, now pot less specimens should not be an issue, while looking
in my minds eye inventory.
This creative process is no different than any medium you work in, which has
been my own experience. Nine times out of ten the results do not disappoint. If
they do, you go back and make it rock.
Exhibit A:
baccifera has the envious orchid
looking as if they never seen each
other before. That is what being in
close quarters can do.
I had to turn the orchid away to face
it's more familiar direction, facing the
afternoon sun. Perhaps the orchid was
just blinded by the light.
Exibit B:
This cactus's architectural qualities, something I never saw coming into this project
is truly mesmerizing. So says, this constant gardener.
Close quarters blindness strikes again.
Last and not least.
Exhibit C:
'C' for class. This orchid that hasn't bloomed for me in the last two years. Not only hangs
on to it's blooms but cast a plume of fragrance six to eight feet away. The fragrance is bit
like a man made one and than is not a compliment. The first time I smelled this and thinking
that this scent can't be coming from this medium sized bloom. This is a medium sized blooming
orchid with a big fragrance.
Now turn around and face the sun like a good orchid.
