Orchid Novice

Lorraine,
I live in Bucks County, about 35 minutes outside of Philly. Yes, the flower shows are terrific! The only problem is the crowds!

I appreciate your note along with the others I've received. I am printing them off and starting a file for my reference. I have 3 or 4 books on orchids, but I originally bought them just to look at the pictures of the blooms! They aren't very good for the pests/diseases side of things. I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to look for more resources, and one book told me to go to the AOS website bookstore. Lo and Behold, in order to get into the store, I must be a member. Ah, well! The advice that all of you are imparting is more than enough!
Thank you so much!

Patricia
