Comments on: Building the orchid wall http://mahmoodsgarden.com/2008/03/14/building-the-orchid-wall/ my trials and tribulations in trying to create a garden in the desert Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:52:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Paul Ryall http://mahmoodsgarden.com/2008/03/14/building-the-orchid-wall/#comment-176 Paul Ryall Sun, 13 Sep 2009 12:21:35 +0000 http://mahmoodsgarden.com/2008/03/14/building-the-orchid-wall/#comment-176 I am currently developing an orchid wall in the porch of my house in Hua Hin, Thailand. I am attaching strips of wood to the wall at 30cm intervals from the top to about half way down. The wall length is just over 4 meters and the height 1.50m. I will be attaching steel hooks at 15cm intervals into the wood strips. Most orchids here come in lattice plastic pots, so it's easy to hook them on. I don't need a watering system as I like to spray daily and feed weekly, also by spray. I will intersperse the orchids with ferns such as Nephrolepis Bostoniensis because orchids get a bit straggly and unsightly when resting. The ferns will hide the straggliness.

It is just stunning with dept and color. This is a terrific way to display your latest "babies"; even though they are grouped together, it allows for each one to be appreciated on it's own. Keep the pictures coming. :mrgreen: Note sure where my Friday went that I did not see this post or the beautiful orchid posted on your main site. It is just stunning with dept and color.
