Cool Hello from MT, USA!
Hello, just registered!
I used to have an account here ages ago but I somehow messed up the email verification and could never post
I finally got around to making a new account today!

I used to have possibly hundreds of orchids (no official count...)
Recently I got rid of almost all of them due to lack of resources (grow space, time to care for them, funds, etc...)
I did keep a few and am definitely still interested in the hobby though!

Recently I've been working on sowing seeds in-vitro since I have experience with agar culture of other organisms. (mycology)

My current collection is as follows:
Ctsm. fimbriatum 'Golden Horizon'
Ctsm. boyi (in early spike)
Ctsm. tenebrosum (in early spike)
Ctsm. schmidtianum seedling
Galeandra leptoceras (in bud)
3x Mexipedium xerophyticum seedlings

Currently I'm growing entirely indoors under metal halide lighting.
I have quite a few non-orchid plants as well.

Regards,
Greg

Welcome to the OB, Greg. I'll look forward to your posts.

Paraphalaenopsis is a favorite genus of mine. In some places I use "denevei" as a screen name.

It's a pretty cool genus. I love the leaves.
I used to have a Paraphalaenopsis laycockii, really wish I would have kept it actually.
It was a seedling, but it grew surprisingly quickly.

I think I'm eventually going to buy a full grown labukensis from Orchidweb.

I have some pictures of my plants and a few micrographs of orchids seeds I was going to share but it looks like I need to hit five posts first!

Welcome back! Were you known as MT-Phal? Maybe one of the moderators can combine your accounts. I've seen it done for other members. Silken? Tindomul? White Rabbit?

My old account was called GregTJ, but I never even set any of the account details and such.

Hello welcome to the OB
I saw one of your micrographs of a seed in the gallery, really nice!
Orchids and photography are a great combination.
Love to see more.
Ciao Nicola

Glad you like it!
I'm slowly learning the ropes when it comes to microscopy.
Hopefully I'll have lots more pictures to show soon!
