New kid in town...
I've grown orchids off and on, having a decent collection while in Bozeman. During a relocation move to Missoula in the winter all but 1 died due to the cold. It wasn't until my sole survivor ( see pic) decided to bloom after 7 yrs...
Welcome to the Orchid Board. Getting back into a hobby or favorite activity after a long break is like meeting up with old friends. I'll bet you're going to enjoy yourself!
The orchid really looks like a true brave survivor with all that white stuff outdoors!!! I lived most of my 68 years in Wisconsin, but 9 years in North Dakota and 2 years in Montana (Moore and Westby). Hello from subtropical mostly warm southern China!
