Jim, between the orchids and the electronics you're going to move yourself right out of that house!

Elaine, the mottled leaf Paphs are easy. They like dappled light and even temperatures year around. I sold the sister plant to a fellow grower two years ago. She got an Award of Merit at the regional AOS judging with a smaller plant and a single bloom last winter.

It's the last sunny day for a while which means I didn't have to jump through hoops adjusting the camera. Low light and small orchids are especially challenging. The flower on this Lepanthes yunckeri is so small I've spent days trying to figure out whether a new leaf or a bud was emerging. See what I mean?
