Aloha!

Hi everyone,
Just joined Orchid Board to see what is going on here, try to learn a few things, make some new friends, and offer help to some folks if I can. I've been growing orchids here in Hawai'i for about 15 years and have come to the conclusion that I have a SERIOUS problem. Every time I see something new I have to have it. I have been involved with local orchid societies for as long as I have been keeping orchids and have been concentrating on species for the last 8-10 years. I have a greenhouse that is about 3200 square feet and mostly full of species. I am currently growing Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, and Paphiopedilums, as well as assorted other Genera. I was until recently an active participant in the American Orchid Society and Honolulu Orchid Society judging systems but decided that appreciating orchids is a far better way to view them than judging them. I have a few registered hybrids that I have done and also enjoy doing Culture talks to various societies here in Hawai'i when I have time. I sell a few plants on Ebay from time to time and was thinking about selling a few here as well in the future. Anyway, just thought I would take this oppurtunity to say hi!

Aloha, Fred
