Hello from Santa Barbara!
Hi all,
I've been browsing the Orchid Board as my break from work the past couple of years and figured it was finally time to say hello and thank you for all the amazing information that the community provides.
My husband and I are species growers. We recently relocated from Orange County, CA up the coast to Santa Barbara. The move has been good (or bad?) for our orchid habit. We've put in a backyard greenhouse for our warm growers- we've a particularly fondness for Coryanthes and other weird Stan family members. Additionally, we grow Anguloas, Draculas, and various other things outside. Our Lepanthes and other cool growers are in a terrarium inside. All in all, I think we're up to about 300 plants or so at this point.
It's funny- was obsessed with orchids, and taxonomy in particular as a kid, thought I was going to be a botanist. While that didn't happen, and I lost interest, I started collecting again during the pandemic, and, well, here we are again.
Great to meet you all, and, again, thanks for all the reading pleasure.
Jason
