Hello, I'm another new guy. I raise about 7000 orchids in southern Calif. Most are outdoor growers under shade cloth. The Catts. are in a covered but unheated greenhouse. My first love will always be Cymbidiums but, since moving to Fallbrook ten years ago I have much better luck with the Catts. My plants have received two AM's and one HCC from the AOS. I've received one CCE and two CCM's.
7000..... I can't imagine what it is like to have that many chids. That's a lot of beauties. I too have a thing for Cymbidiums, but the warm loving ones does better in in my neck of the woods.
By the way to OB. You should have alot to offer on this wonderful board. Can't wait to start seeing some
