The story of the greenhouse makes me very sad. I suspect it was an elderly owner/ orchid grower and the house was sold by the kids who didn't want to deal with the orchids and passed them on to the new owner who also didn't want to deal with them.

I'd hate for my collection to be tossed out on the street like that.

Thank you for picking them up and caring for them. I hope they bloom gloriously for you in gratitude.

I have a provision in my will that my collection goes to any local school that wants them. Use them as a teaching experience and perhaps get more young folks interested.
