I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Welcome aboard Brad. If there is one thing I love more than orchids, it would be good food. I used to be a pretty good cook, and have the highest respect for chefs. Have fun here.
Kim
