Getting to know you

[peml]

Patti here from inside the Tahoe National Forest in Northern California. I contracted severe and chronic orchid fever in the early eighties. A hobby grower, I try to keep my collection small enough to give individual care to each one but always manage to come with a reason why I need just one more. First forum ever and looking forward to first person anecdotes on cultural challenges and their solutions. I'm currently experimenting with all the natural mounting materials and mosses available to me right out my back door. Don't worry, no valuable specimens will be sacrificed. My first test subjects will be economical seedlings. Looking forward to meeting you all.
