How many young growers are here?
Growing orchids are one of my most favorite hobbies of all time, and I ws wondering how many young growers we have here. I'm 18 now, and I got my very first orchids when I was almost 17. I now have 7 or 8 orchids and I don't pan on stopping!
So how about it, any other young growers here?

Define young,  Hopefully I'm teetering on the edge.
In any case, we had a very active member (and extremely knowledgeable) who recently joined the armed forces in September or August. He was, at last count only 17.

Good for you, Sara! I am 26 and I started 2 years ago. When I got married I chose a place that had lots of orchids, and they worked their ways into our back yard!
What kinds do you have in Maine?

How young is young? Do you mean in mind or years?
