Howdy from Texas
Richardson, Texas, that is.
I got interested in orchids in the '50s; the magazine article by Phillip Wylie was the cause of it all. Now I'm in my 4th greenhouse with catts, phals, encyclias, vandas, and anoectochilus. Plus a monstera philodendron and a volunteer wood fern (it just showed up and stayed).
My main interest is vandas. Will post a photo when I figure out how.
Cheers!

 Welcome to the Orchid Board neighbor! I'm just down the road yonder way from you. A little over 200 miles west on the dry side.
You have a very nice sounding collection & many greenhouses, I am already jealous.  Excited to see photos of your beauties. |

Waving back.
Greenhouses - I've had three before the current one, not four now.
