Hi I'm in Miami. Welcome to our little world, because the orchids hobby is like a hook, you get hook and I love it.

I'm in Ft. Lauderdale. Check out the Florida Orchid Lovers social group. Some of the things we discuss are only useful to people growing orchids in our sub-tropical climate. Good luck.

Byrd's Orchids in Lakeland is owned by Bill Byrd and his lovely wife Wanda
Have you ever been to their place?

Greetings FPL,
I am in Southwest Ocala and starting to think I was the only one around, (not really, I know there are orchid lovers around here, 'cause the bargain shelves with the half dead plants are always cleared of orchids by the time I get to them ) I've fairly recently gotten bitten by the orchid bug, but have been growing things all my life. I did speak to a Mr. Louis Martin, who lives in Dunnellon, and is a former AOS judge and was active in the Ocala Orchid Soc, when it was in existance.
Nice to meet you.
Best,
Tony

Dunnellon Lady
Thanks for the reply. Where in Dunnellon does Louis live? I have an orchid that is growing in spag. moss and water. It got 3rd. place last weekend I am secretary of the Rainbow Lakes Garden Club. Hubby and I try to plant alot of drought tolerant plants, as we have terrible looking grass. If it grows it grows, if not we just move on to something else. Shirley

Louis H. Martin

Dunnellon FL 34432
He seems like a nice guy and was really surprised that his contact info was still online for a club that has been defunct for 5-6 years!
Most everyone I know down here has terrible looking grass! Unless you want to waste thousands of gallons of water on your lawn it ain't gonna grow well in the semi tropics. A lot of folks in our community have/are switching to stones or mulch instead of grass. I have a cacti and succulent garden out front of the house and as many drought-tolerant plants in the yard as possible. Grass is a minimum. Good to meet ya.

Hello,
I'm from Kissimmee Florida glad I found this forum no other growers in my area sadly, we have the perfect weather to grow orchids and many types of plants. I bring in my Orchids in for a couple of weeks every year depending some times for a month or even two but that's it most of the year there out side
