We have a lot of them here in the Northwest, and not only orchids - maybe it's the climate.

Are you implying that there may be a lack of sun?

We don't always have a lot of sun:-) That's one downer involved in living here. They say, in fact, that the lack of sunshine is the reason we have the highest incidence of MS in the country.

The docs here usually advise people to take vitamin D.

They are so unusual that even though the flowers are small we never pass them by.
