Intro....

[gixrj18]

Well, I guess now that I've stumbled around the sight a little, now would be a good time for an introduction. My name is Jasen, I live on the central, east coast of Florida. I have only been collecting orchids for about 10 months, but I have grown a variety of things prior to them. However, just like most of you I'm sure, orchids have captured most of my interests. I presently have about 70 species which are doing pretty good so far. Luckily, I've got a natural greenthumb and I've done some side work for a professional orchid grower. So I've been fortunate enough to learn some of the secrets early off without the years of trial and error. He mentors me with anything I need to know and gives me good deals on nice plants. For now, my back screened porch has been turned into a semi-climate controlled terrarium, but I am getting ready to build an 800 sq. ft. greenhouse in about a month or two. I plan on getting into flasking and the whole nine yards. Got about 15 seed pods swelling right now, can,t wait!
I like any orchid that commands attention (I know, that's just about all of them), but I really love the ones that make you stand back and say,"How in the hell did nature do that?" You know, the eye-catchers.I am on a mission in search of Epi. annelie wan, so if anyone knows where to locate one, please let me know. See ya in the OB!
