Empty Now

My friend Barbara passed away in March 2008. I took over her orchid collection, many of which were orchids I had no idea how to grow. I've written elsewhere of my trials learning how to intertwine them into my collection. Most challenging has been her taste for dendrobiums, a genus I intentionally decided never to learn anything about, much less how to grow. They've been delightful surprises when they bloom.


In addition to her collection I've slowly been transferring supplies from her place to mine. Who knew there were so many supplies! I thought I collected pots, heck Barbara had pots aplenty, as well as baskets and wire hangers, so I'm set for life. As her house slowly becomes empty, my back yard is slowly becoming an eyesore, LOL! So I need to build some sort of a shed to house this collection of pots and assorted orchid paraphenalia.


I snapped this shot of Barbara's GH after we'd removed the pots. So sad to see it empty. Somewhere around here I have one of it filled to the brim. If I find it I'll post it.
