Haha I'm already on it. I ordered Catasetum spp and Maxillaria because I HAVE A POND!!!! It will be perfect. But I do have turtles in the pond, so there is that to contend with.

And yeah, I know of Andy's orchids. He's in the same county as me. I'm planning a trip up to see him to get bulbo treschii (not for outside, but still an odd, pretty plant! and good for epiphytic growth in my Sulawesi biotope aquarium). And to just chat him up in general.
