Hiya.

My background has been in keeping marine reef aquariums and amphibian terrariums. I was slowly introduced to orchids through terrarium epyphites and the hobby-come-obsession kind of spread from there.

I've been limited largely to windowsills for the first year or two of my orchid hobby, but my partner and I just bought our first house together in rural western Victoria, Australia.

Although the climate here will be an interesting challenge, (think long Arizona-type summers with short, northern California-type winters), having our own house means I get to finally build a nice big greenhouse!. Super excited.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you and hearing your advice and anecdotes.

I also enjoy gaming, classic cars and cooking. I'm thirty years old and easily the youngest orchid hobbiest within 250 kilometres by a margin of 30 years or so. Whilst the local clubs are fun, I'm not sure many of the other members know how to turn a computer on. So a bit of global web knowledge can only help me along I figure

Cheers!
