I've been growing orchids since 1972 when my new Mother-in-law gave me a class on growing orchids at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in NY. I still have (in spite of much mishandling) the 2 Cattleyas I received. I now have a small greenhouse & about 150 plants & a grey tree frog that moved in 3 winters ago. She just came out of hibernation last Thurs. Still fat & happy. Love mealy worms. I'm semiretired from Edward Jones and love living in NH.
