How can you tell a male from a female orchid?

Online orchid vendors only have one purpose...

To sell you an orchid. They have little responsibility to actually educate you on the specifics of orchids and orchid growing.

That's what going to botany classes, learning on your own, orchid societies, and online communities are for.

I BEG your pardon!

I am an online orchid vendor, but more than 90% of my website content is free information intended precisely to educate growers.

Mr. Barkalow - I was already aware of First Rays, and I do commend you for having one of the most accessible information sites for orchid growers. Every topic laid out on one page is the best I have seen. I found things I didn't even know I need to know.

Oh isn't that the truth!

There are other vendors with basic culture info... but Ray's site has soooo much more and I've still not managed to absorbe it all.

I know it's off topic... but a big thanks to Ray for all the info your site provides
