How many older growers ?
Do we have on the board ?
We have heard from the young ones, how about 60 or older ?

I don't fit in either group!  I'm way past 20 but not close to 60.
My mind is young, my body is old, my billfold is empty but my greenhouse is full!!
Maybe I should start my own group!  |

Reminds me of something I read titles Dr.Seuss On Aging, or something like that. Very funny. |

Well Gin, I turned 63 last month, and am still pretty active here. Does that count?

Not quite 60, but pretty close. Like Ross, I've been growing orchids since the early 70's.
I wish there had been something like the OB back then, maybe I wouldn't have killed so many.

I am looking forward to my 74th birthday. Mind you, I am looking forward to my 100th as well but I will start with my 74th.
I am an orchid recidivist, having started collecting in the 60's (1960's that is) and thought I had kicked the habit until a couple of years ago when I slipped back into a life of orchids.
