You may be the only one willing to admit it publicly. I used to think the same thing until I went to an Orchid Society meeting and found a large group that was even nuttier than I was.
Lots of us orchid nuts just to the north of you. Toronto has probably the biggest orchid society in Canada, and you're really close to Cloud's Orchids (about 20 minutes from the border), the best source for cattleya alliance plants north of Carter & Holmes.
Geez I have to get a passport to meet some more nuts hahaha. Well I need to get one anyway my daughter wants to go to some safari place over there in Canada. Ill have to stop by Cloud Orchids. Thanks everyone nice to meet you im Karen and I'm a orchid nut!
