That is great advice! I hadn't thought of that. When I hear the word "flask" I cringe at how little space I have, but compots don't have nearly as many plants. That might be an option for me. Then I'd just need to find people to trade with. I really only know one local orchid grower and the nearest OS meetings are 2 hours away in the noisy, crowded city of Seattle (What can I say, I'm a country boy.)
Hmmm, time to start networking!
