An Orchid Kingdom?
Hi all,
Not sure where to post this one but here looks like a good spot.
I order this product yesterday but I'm wondering if any of you have seen it? I read a short review in the RHS Orchid Review and it sounded pretty good for beginners and for advanced growers.
Any thoughts? I am not promoting the product just wondering what you think. Click on the following link......

based upon the trailer, it looks to be well done, but like any "canned" cultural advice, whether that be given here, in a DVD, or during a lecture, you have to understand that what is presented is merely one way to grow the plants, and that their growing conditions and plant collection are likely entirely different from yours.
In other words, just because it's a commercial DVD, it doesn't mean you can do exactly what he states and be successful.

Let us know what you think of it
Any source of good information is valuable but I agree with Ray here...what is shown on the DVD is not necessarily what will work in somebody else's environment.

Of course, they are great points. I will therefore be the guinea pig and maybe post a review of what I think.
Yes I could have spent the money on orchids.......but there's always money for orchids......lol.
