Hi From SoCal
Default Hi From SoCal

Hi,

I've been a past member and had to reduce my plants to practically zero when in 2005 got sent to Afghanistan for a while....(didn't want my wife to have to care for the 75 plants I had in my garage under a 1000W HPS/MH traveling light (I think my neighbors thought I was a major cannibis grower (little did they know orchids were my addiction).

Now due to health concerns I have to look at more sedentary hobbies and due to the same don't bother with seedlings since I want to see each plant bloom.

This is one of my favorites in my meager collection right now, if in the house, it will completely fill it with fragrance. I think it's Dendrobium speciosum var Hilleii but it could be some sort of hybrid. I got it from a neighbor that has probably 40 similarly sized pots.

cheers

Mike
