Hi, My name is Harry. Been growing orchids for 45 years. Just moved to Oregon from California and I brought no orchids with me.
Plant life here in Oregon is incredible. All the rain keeps things green. Spring was sooooo beautiful. I'm still identifying all the plants in the yard we have. There are so many beautiful gardens all over the place.
I am retired, but run a small orchid supply business from here. I can't seem to shake it entirely. We supply lots of the little bug clips, bees, butterflies, dragonflies. daisy clips, and painted plant stakes, along with great little miniature orchids of nearly 50 varieties. You will have to check our our website to see the pictures of every one my daughter made for me.
Outside of that I intend to do some fishing, I am 388 steps from the Lower Santiam River waters edge. Just moved here so am busy getting car reregistered, drivers license, house insurance, car insurance, boy what alot of paperwork!!!

Welcome Supreme Commander Harry!

Sounds like you're setting up a perfect retirement for yourself...go ahead...rub it in

Good for you ! What do you fish for ?

Check out my trophy catch from last year !

That's me with a 28lb (12kg) chinook salmon.

Wow Marty! Now thasa FISH!!

In the river here are Steelhead and trout. That's a big ol' chinook!! I think I got to take a course in what you can bring home. Got to be clipped or unclipped or over 20 inches or release, not up on all that yet. See LOTS of guys fishing but not anyone bringing one in. Fish are late this year I've heard. But now they put a fish ladder on one of the smaller dams around Lebanon. A wooden one, hope they don't get splinters.
