PrettyTiny Film Company Pic A Week *2020*! (The END!!)

[Alliecat]

Thanks, everybody! So little daylight -- rain & gloom all week so far -- I'm reduced to flash snapshots indoors; ugh.

For living in such a cold and gloomy place, you certainly seem to have a lot of success growing colorful tropical flowers!

The orchids are all crammed onto south windowsills & crowded around one too-small too-narrow east one. It's not ideal as they're not supposed to be in full sun, but most of them manage. I have scraps of sheer curtain to try to shade them a tiny bit. I can take the kitchen-window one down for a couple months in the summer when the sun is high enough, but otherwise it kind of blocks my view of the backard...

It's nice to see the prchid doesn't care that much about the lack of natural light - though thinking of it, aren't they ground-species in their natural inhabitat, surrounded by taller vegetation?

No, oncidiums are epiphytes. I've never tried terrestrial orchids. This one lives on the hot sunny south kitchen windowsill where it gets a little too much light.

With the apocalypse rolling on out there, I keep vowing not to watch the news, so we at PTFCo are watching more movies instead.
