So sorry about your orchids. Hopefully you will get the still live ones going good again. We all have our ups and downs.
I also here ya about the tourists. I like to tell people here in Wyoming it gets cold, we have rattle snakes and the natives are restless. Nothing wrong with trying to keep it to ourselves.
In Arizona we have scorpions that really hurt and one that is even worse. Also 13 or so species of rattlesnake, plus a venemous lizard. But people still want to visit all winter.
