Thanks to all for the warm welcome and I look forward to asking perhaps a few dumb questions which I have no problem with, and exchanging knowledge. Ross I took your advice and loaded a few pics, not great with the camera but learning. I am certainly interested in the orchid brd projects and would like to take part. Actually I live in the high desert my home is at 3700 ft elev, so its pretty good although it does get in up to 100 in the summers which will be my biggest challenge I think. Tindomul I have never even heard of the Mexipedium xerophyticum but will find one and give it a try.
Will try to be a regular contributer, its hard when surrounded by such knowledge. But I have prepared my mouth to except my foot just in case.
