Hi everyone of Central Florida

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself telling you what I grow and want to grow...LOL I have been growing orchids now for 3 years, a new guy to orchids. I live right outside Orlando so the weather here is great for growing orchids outside. I have a shade house that I constructed on my back porch so I can hang my orchids underneath it.

I mainly grow vandaceous orchids. I think the last time I checked, I have 75 vandas and ascocendas and they are blooming like crazy outside. I was never very lucky with other orchids until I started growing cattleyas. I had the honor of meeting Alan Kock from Gold Country Orchids and got hooked on Lc. Love Knot....I love it. So, now I am interested in C. walkeriana hybrids because they seem to love the heat and sun we get.

Here is a pic of one of my favorites, Ascocenda Su-Fun Beauty 'Orange Belle' AM/AOS-RHS .
