I am glad to read your posts .As a kid I lived in a large estate which we had every plant in it. African violets anthuriums, vandas in full bloom. I think every family in our area got a orchid plant in their garden .so it was like a botanical garden .Not to mention roses. I had a hesitaiotn that I might kill orchids so I refrain from growing those.But my cousin grew a lot .Vandas arandas and oncidiums .Some vandas grow 5 feet high and get 5-6 flower spikes with 10 flowers.
We have a government owned botanical garden , where there is a green house full of orchids. I respect them much I am scared to look at them even..
But now I have planted few of them in my garden. I have seen many of them
