Mike - Why do you keep including pictures of Dustin Hoffman in your posts? Why haven't you told us you take him to the swamp with you?



You are a dead ringer for him .. ever think of becoming an acting double?

I think anyone who wades in a swamp up to his crotch in stinky water with camo gear on is, well, and orchidaholic!

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.)
