Hello everyone! I finally decided to de-lurk and actually register. It seems like everytime I search for something, one of you has posted something about that plant--and I grow some unusual species. So, clearly, this is the place for me!
I have been growing for about 10 years. About 2 years ago we moved and built a small greenhouse. It is packed to the gills. I grow lots of different things but I love angraecoids and phals. I have lots of them--angraecums, aerangis, jumellea, dendrophylax, sobennikoffia, mystacidium, aeranthes, rangeris and a few other misc ones. In total, a hundred or so plants--mainly species, but a few hybrids as well.
My phals include two hundred-ish plants as well as seedlings in various stages from just deflasked to nearly blooming size. I like the species phals, but also the crazy new hybrids. So it is a real mix of the species, hybrids, multi-florals and the big traditional phals.
And the rest falls into the --oh, I like that category. Probably 50 vandas, 20ish catts and brassavola hybrids, 25-30 neofinetias and hybrids and I'm a sucker for interesting species generally. So if it can handle warm humid summers, and it strikes my fancy, it usually finds its way into the greenhouse. I tend to lean toward the vandeae--as you can probably tell.
I look forward to getting to know you all. I anticipate that you will have great advice and be wonderful orchid enablers--I'll undoubtedly see photos of some of your plants and decided I can't live without them.
So, I look forward to seeing you around.
