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

Aloha au iā 'oe Fred. Please adopt me. Seriously though, I'd be happy with 32 square feet of greenhouse space.
We would like to see lots of pictures, or a half-hour video tour. I'd bet a greenhouse that big is visible from space.
