Another from Ontario Canada
Hello all. My name's Alex, I've lurked this site a couple of years on and off.
I was finally forced to register when the main page wouldn't let me view content as a guest.
Like many of the other posters filling the introductions sub-board, I too, am from Ontario. More specifically, Toronto's east end, Scarborough.
I'm 27 years old, and I'm a construction Millwright. I've been interested in orchids for a few years now and I've spent countless hours reading and learning about what is now my favorite hobby and a real passion of mine.
My interests are mainly in species orchids of the Cattleya and Vandaceous alliances, or any similar or related genus.
I try to stick to mini's or smaller plants as my collection is indoors under lights. I have a few small seedlings of plants that will probably get pretty large, but that will be a good excuse to expand my space when the time comes.
My collection currently includes;
C. gaskelliana
C. intermedia
C. warneri
L. fidelensis
L. purpurata
L. rubescens
Epi. pseudepidendrum
Epi. radicans
Enc. flabellifera
Phal. equestris
Gastrochilus japonicus
Renanthera monachica
Podangis dactyloceras
Den. aberrans
Cochleanthes amazonica
Mediocalcar decoratum
Restrepia brachypus
plus a few hybrids and noids
Alex.

Welcome to the board Alex. You can only lurk so long. All my orchids are under lights and I love the mini chids as well.
