Hi all,

I am so happy I found this site! My hubby and I now have a small family farm raising pastured eggs, chicken, turkey and now pork in upstate NY. So I am home most days and growing my orchids for pure fun.
I don't have many any more. At one time I had over 200--mostly Phals. But I sold them off and gave them away when I had to work full time elsewhere. Now that I'm home again, I'm working on my collection. I love my phals, and am now venturing into some of the other, still beginner orchids. Even tho I have grown them off and on for years I don't feel I have truely mastered the art and am looking forward to learning more.

Thanks for this site!

Shere

My father in law actually just recovered from Lyme's so I guess I have to say yes we do. I haven't ever seen a tick on our place. But one is all it takes I guess

Utica is about 38 miles east of Syracuse.

I have heard we have wild orchids here but havent seen any tho... I am still learning whats out there

No green house here... everything I grow for the moment, has to be in the house so it limits me a lot. ONE day I will have my orchid house tho

Well check Goodyera repens [ i think - had 3/ 4 beers at some event so my memory is not as sharp]...
Well I was in Montreal and they were taling abou Lyme ticks spreading to Québec. maybe more venison burgers would help control the disease!

Anyway if you have a farm and find some Goodyera repens... the leaves look lovely.

Welcome to Orchid Board Shere, from all the way over in the UK.

I have mostly Phals but nowhere near the 200 you used to have. It's great to try a few others and I'm tentatively doing that now.
