So over the past few nights I've spent some time thinking about the designs for a new stand, one that can stand alone, outside of any closet, and one that is much more efficient than Stand II (which held my Cattleyas and Bulbophyllums at my last house). There are a lot of hypotheses that I will need to prove that will strongly dictate the design of the stand. I'll explain my ideas after the break, plus I also found a new spike! (I should clarify that when I speak of a new spike for something so new and small, I am always taking into consideration that it may be a kieki instead of a spike, I'm just hoping for the best).
