hey from Halifax

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this site. I'm 16 and have been keeping a meager collection of 1 phalenopsis orchid for the past 4 years or so Along with orchids I also keep indoor and outdoor cacti, carnivorous plants, and starting on palms. Also I keep reptiles and amphibians. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of any Canadian orchid growers, as I'm looking for many species for a terrarium that I am building for my dart frogs. This seems like a great site with lots of info!

Cameron.

edit: here is the list of orchids I'm looking for from Canadian growers. Sorry that it's not in order, I copied and pasted it from another forum. Also if this is supposed to go into like a "wanted" forum or something, please feel free to move it there.

Hi Cameron and welcome to the OB.
I noticed that you are a neighbor of mine.......I'm in Maine!
That's quite a list you have compiled, I'm sure some of our Canadian members will help you find some.

Be sure to post pictures of your terrarium when complete, there are also members here with terrariums.
