Who are you, and what do you grow?
With so many new members, I thought it might be nice to get to know people by having a thread in one place about what we all grow (and how!)
I'm Heather. I have been growing 2 years. I grow Paphs and Phrags exclusively - in particular, multi-floral Paph. species and hybrids, Phrag. besseae species and hybrids, and long petaled Phrag. species.
I have recently moved my Paphs to semi-hydro and grow my Phrags in a seedling bark mix.
I'm windowsill/lights grower who lusts for a dedicated sunroom. Oh, and I'm 34 and live in Boston, MA.
Who's next??

I'm Dave W. Mostly I grow Catts, Phal, Paphs, some Den and odds and ends, lots of flasks.
Growing under flourescents, windowsill and outside in the summer. Soon to be HID in the basement.
Potting media of choice: bark, my bark mixes, NZ moss and a bit of coco husk.
I am in Edmonton, Alberta and have 1 wife and 1.3 children.
I have such serious greenhouse envy, that I am completely overhauling my yard to accomodate a hobby greenhouse (season extender only, but nice summer home for orchs)

I'm Caesar, I have three Phals, one Oncidium 'Sharrry Baby', One Dend., and four miniatures. The four are growing under flourescents in a terrarium. They are Masdevallia rolfiana, Angraecum diderii, Haraella odorata, and Cischwenfia pusillia. Hope to try my hand at short growing Pahps or Phrags, and Catts.
Im in NYC, USA.

Stan, if you are single then that might be an opening line - here it is just creepy!

My name is John, age 29 and I am growing Japanese orchids like Neofinetia falcata, Sedirea japonica, Thrixspermum japonicum and Gastrochillus japonicus. I have a few assorted Neof. hybrids now too.
I also grow Phragmipedium besseae species and a dozen or so besseae hybrids. Total I have about 35 phrags.
Added to that I am now deep into a Phalaenopsis habit which at last count included about 20 different species and hybrids.
In between I have a few odds-n-ends.

It's like walking into Cheers... 'NORM!!!'.

Nice to see some familiar 'faces' (or is that avatars?)
