Florida – The Sticky State (Blog Question)

[elyjam]

Hello Orchid People,

My father has a large orchid collection. He recently told me he wanted to catalogue and document his plants. I suggested that he should start a photo blog. Since he had no experience with blogs, I set up his account and have updated it for him. You can see it here (Carl's Orchids).

I was wondering if any of you maintain similar pages. I’d love to see your orchids. Also, I would appreciate any suggestions that might improve this project.

PS – He has a few orchids that he calls “Home Depots.” I guess these are widely sold and don’t come with a formal name. Is there a way to properly classify them? On the blog, I’ve simply listed them with titles like “Oncidium Hybrid.”

Mine is in my signature area. Welcome to the board by the way. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Hi Ross,

Your site looks great. Those itty-bitty orchids are very pretty.

I can barely keep track. No blog here, but I'm trying to inventory all mine as well. I think your terminology for the "Home Depot" orchids is fine. Around here, we call a plant with no ID a Noid. Your term is a little more endearing.

When one of the noids or Home Depots bloom, post a picture here. I'm no good, but lots of people here can ID them.

Oh, and Welcome!
