Ryan from Apopka, Florida: Newly Minted Orchid Nerd Part of Conservation Syndicate

[RJ Maxwell]

Hello, Orchid Board patrons, my name is Ryan. I live in Apopka, Florida, near Orlando, and I am a part of a conservation syndicate started by two of my friends where we grow various species of endangered orchids and carnivorous plants.


My aforementioned colleagues are biologists who have a lot of experience with plant-growing while I am but a humble plant nerd who enjoys working with plants but doesn't know a whole lot about them. However, I am learning fast and hope to learn more about the identification, care, and propgation of various orchid species from this forum.

I am mainly here on this forum to connect with like-minded orchid growers, both to learn more about orchids and to sell the myriad species we have available. Thanks for taking time to read this and I hope to meet some cool, new faces here.
