Same here, especially the studying part. My wife thinks I'm crazy because I'm always reading some orchid book, article, catalog, etc!

What are you going to be germinating? Natives?

Yes! I have a source for some tempensis, and nocturnum. I also have a friend that has a specimen B. nodosa that puts out seed pods every year.

Keep your eyes peeled for the show-stopping Lepanthopsis melanantha! They should be growing in VERY similar conditions...

Thanks Pat, When am I going to get to come to the Fakahatchee? Would really love to have you make a trip with us one day.
