Oh, hello! I didn't see you there. Sorry, my hands are a little dirty...

Welcome to the Palace Greenhouse! We grow orchids, bromeliads, arums, and all kinds of freaky deakies for your perverse enjoyment. Just hover over the image to discover more...

To be frank, we're not much of a greenhouse, since only a few of our charges have flowered under our care... it's been some tough times, but we're plucky little guys, we keep on going!

There are some real orchid freaks out there, whom I never understood until I became one. Anyone can get pelargoniums and begonias to bloom for them (two of the fuck-ugliest flowers in the world, IMO); getting an orchid to bloom for you takes patient husbandry, an understanding of the unique properties of each type group or taxon, and a willingness to perform your understanding, weekly, for the foreseeable future, with no guaranteed reward. You can't just dump sun and water on them indiscriminately and expect them to thrive. They have needs.
