Outdoor-growing (California) orchid addict

[Roberta]

I am fortunate to live in an area with a temperate climate (coastal southern California) that is amenable to outdoor orchid growing. I have a small greenhouse for the few warm growers that I just HAD to have, but 90% of my orchids grow outside. I am getting more and more into species. A trip to Ecuador pushed me over the edge - Andean orchids that grow from about 1200 m to 3000 m do fine in my back yard. I have a website, orchidcentral.org (could not display it as a link so just copy and paste) , on which I show my orchids, with a table that indicates what grows outside and what needs the greenhouse.
