Hello from SW FLorida!
Default Hello from SW FLorida!
Hi, My husband and I are growers of diminutive orchids in beautiful Lee County Florida. What started as a hobby in 2007 after finding a eulophia graminea bulb in the Miami area, has since turned into an addiction propagating eulophia, oeceoclades maculatas and other orchids that are native to the area. We´re so fortunate to live in an area where we can grow all of our orchids out of doors. Anyway we look forward to being a part of your community! Ana

Hi Anna & Husband, Welcome! I'm a bit to your north! Do you have any pictures of the plants you keep or keys to your success growing them? I'm just getting my feet wet with outdoor orchids -- having some success with a hybrid Enc. Tampensis and Brav. Nodosa -- but would appreciate your perspectives on oeceoclades maculata. Take care...Mike

Hi Mike, I´d be glad to share whatever I´ve learned about these little jewels.We currently have over 500 o. maculatas in various growth stages, from just poking through the mulch to fully mature ( and huge) plants in full bloom to others laden with heavy seed pods. I´ll post some photos this afternoon, we have to batten down the hatches today because of Isaac´s arrival tomorrow. We´ve also gone alttle crazy with the eulophias which have to be the easiest orchids to grow. Anything you would like to know Mike just ask!

Welcome to Orchidboard

Stay safe in the coming storm. I've seen pics of weather map warnings an old friend of Orchidboard posted on facebook, looks like the keys will be getting it worst but I'm glad to not be in Florida just now.

Thanks Tucker, We´re glad to be here!
Rosie I think (hope) we´ll just get a heavy wind and rain event here. We´re in a flood zone (200 feet from the Caloosahatchie. I´m looking at the projected path and the tide charts and I´ve got my fingers crossed.
