Hello and welcome!
I know how you are feeling. It has been a long, cold snowy winter.
Not sure if you already know but this region has three orchid shows coming in the near future. The Akron show (Greater Akron Orchid Society) is March 7 & 8, the Strongsville (West Shore Orchid Society) show is March 13 & 14 and I think the Pittsburgh (Orchid Society of Western Pennsylvania) show is March 20 & 21.
