Hello from Memphis, Tennessee
Default Hello from Memphis, Tennessee

Hello Orchid Board. I've been browsing for months and thought it was time to introduce myself.

I have been growing orchids for only a year now and I still have lots to learn. I have been growing a few Phalaenopsis, Oncidiums, some Intergenerics, and a Zygonisia. Recently I aquired a Galeottia nigrensis that I am struggling to find much information on. Yesterday I crossed some of Phalaenopsis in the hope of getting a seed pod.

I am growing in a south facing window that is well shaded because of my porch. I have been keeping the intergenerics and oncidiums outside in the shade for the summer but recently brought them inside for the fall.

Does anyone have any suggestion for a good terrestrial for zone 7?

Bletilla striata is a hardy (to zone 5) terrestrial.

Hi and welcome!

Please come to the next Memphis Orchid Society meeting. 4th Sunday each month.

This particular meeting we have tons of plants for sale. Several members are downsizing.

Seriously there will be almost 100 or more plants.

Plus we'd love to meet you. We are a friendly group!

2pm at the Memphis Botanic Garden, Oct. 25
Usually in the Goldsmith's Room.
