Hello Folks

[aceboj]

My name is Joe, and I'm currently enjoying a bright sunny sub-zero day at my home outside St. Paul, MN. I've been enjoying the Board for a while but have just found time to do some posting.

I maintain between 250 and 300 plants about half of which are encyclias - mostly true encyclias versus the anacheilium/prosthechea split out's. Otherwise a few catt's, phal's and other odds and ends. I grow in the basement under lights and summer outside.

Also I'm on the board of Encyclia Enthusiasts, and invite those with interest in the genus to visit our website at Home.

Looking forward to everyone's posts.

Hello Joe,
I still am in the habit of calling my tampense, Epipendrum!!! Shows you how long I have had it. Got a division of it hanging outside where it seems to be doing better than the ones in the g/h!!
I like these renamed Epi's but only have the tampense and a microbulbon.
thanks for the link too!
So welcome to the forum hope to learn alot from you and your plants!!!
