That sounds like a long costly war. I'm glad you stuck through it and finally getting the upper hand, you are a veteran grower! Welcome to the Orchid Board!

Just a little about myself. I'm a 63 year young scientist who has completely filled his basement and alot more with orchids. I'll try to get together some photos. Lord knows I have plenty. I live in Ellicott City Maryland and am a member of the National Capitol Orchid Society. I learned much of what I know from fellow orchid growers. I have to give a lot of credit to my hobby success to my mentor and friend Merit Huntington. I do miss him and Kensington orchids alot. I'm new to this form of communication so please bear with my naivety.
Anyone going to the Parside orchid Fest?
