Hi. My wife and I live near Chicago. I've had a lifetime of growing things inside and out after a greenhouse work study job in college. I started growing orchids after a gift house warming orchid 10 years ago. Got deeper into after visiting Hausermann's Orchid sale and show soon after. Had a big disaster in 2012 thanks to a full house remodel and the accompanying fine alkaline plaster/dry wall dust and lost about half of my collection of Phals. Created an incubator setup in 2014 to house them when not in bloom. Have started delicately branching into Catalayas, Dendrobiums, and Oncidiums. I have about 25 orchids total.
