Hi, I'm Burr

[BURR]

Hi,
I’m Burr a new guy and “I don’t know nothing about no Orchids or nothing!

Now that I have that out of the way I’ll go on to say I’m 66 and retired from the telephone business in southern California. I met and married a retired Land Banker from the Philippines and after a few years we sold out and retired to the Philippines, just north of Manila.
My wife is a CPA and she works a few days a week to keep her hand in, I do nothing. I workout in the gym three days a week and cycle three days, I’m a under control diabetic so I have to get lots of exercise and eat right.
I have been doing Roses but am having lots of trouble with fungus so I am backing out of the big roses and just keeping the little 1-foot high roses as ground cover. I’ve had four orchids in coconut shells and three in trees; they bloom from time to time. Nice, I love anything that is green, blooms or flowers.
This week my wonderful wife came home with 14 Orchids that she found on a trip south of Manila so I guess I am going to become “The Orchid Man” (my business was “The Telephone Man”).
I have a lot to learn and a very limited place to find information @ this time until I get out and start looking next week. I hope to learn lots of good things from this site and other sites that have good information articles.
If I can help in anyway please feel free to ask.
