Although I have smothered some of the orchids with a pillow, I have a few little monkeys still hanging on. Below we have terete leaved, several types of vanda and a schomburgkia something-onia lower right.

| Chicken wire filled with hardwood branch and bark for moisture. |
The renanthera storiei, a elegant example of a monopodial is a handsome straight backed girl.. Leaves are a faded but clean of spotting of any sort. Coming to think that this one can't get too much moisture. There are only a few aerial roots to absorb the moisture. It is in a prime spot for some direct mid - late PM sun. The three trichoglottis brachiata are holding their own too. Funny-- the orchids (vanda, terete, trichoglottis) wired to the chicken wire above are growing better than those simply hanging..
In bloom; white and red bleeding heart, bougainvillea, vietnamese gardenia and the begonias of course, all of them. The Pandora vine is taking a bloom break. Unfortunately the absolute queen of fragrance, the orange tree, has finally finished and at every flower there is now what might be a fruit someday.
