After a wait of about 17 days the new 50% shade cloth came today and I got right to work. Here is the first picture. As you can see I cleaned up both the outside bench which has my full sun succulent collection and a few containers w/palm seeds. I'm going to the local Home Depot to pick up two small pieces of cloth for the left and right of the doorway probably tomorrow.
Below is a panorama of the inside of the shade house so use the scroll bar at the bottom to see it all. In the left hand corner are my Dendrobium orchids which have flowered and are killing time untill the next flowers so they can return to the kitchen. In the middle are a number of full sun palm seedlings that have been in the 60% shade house and are ready to work there way out into the full sun. In the right hand corner are other orchids that need more shade. They will get no after noon sun as there is a Yellow Royal Poinciana tree to the right of the shade house.
I got a GREAT deal or so I think I did on the shade cloth. It is 12' x 20' and it cost me $64 for the cloth and $10 shipping. Here is a link to their web site. I can't believe anyone could send anything to Hawaii for $10.
