Hector, at the Keys, it is island life, neighbors are sweet, and pretty much EVERYONE grows orchids outside there, we travel a lot for the vacations together, she has it very easy, her neighbor comes every day or 2 and water them with the hose:-) She does water of course with the hose as well. Plus, do not forget, our crazy Florida weather, it is raining pretty much 9 months a year, so you really do not need to water much if growing outside there:-)))

You told me about your friends from the Keys, and I see that they own a paradise.

Cambria, it is true paradise, but you have to have guts for it, not for me at all! I hate island living, the fact you are cut out of from the rest of the world, nothing really to do, other than fishing, orchids and ocean. Hurricane is the same thing here and there, so no biggy. I am just more culture guy, and this "lazy" island style living where they do live with the slogan WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY YOU CAN DO TOMORROW AND EVEN NEXT WEEK is just not my cup of tea:-)

Norma it is very nice there, however you garden is I think much bigger, so I love your place that you have for your chids! Maybe not so many grills though:-)

Absolutely amazing! Orchids and BBQ - now THAT is paradise lol.

How lovely! I think I might like the island living for a short while... might even get used to it!

I wish I lived in a tropic climate where I could grow outdoor.
It will cut back a lot of time and effort of watering each orchid. just water and let it drain. lol
