Orchid project in Brazil

So sorry for the loss of your grandmother. What an incredible and heartearming living memorial you have tasked yourself with. If the local nursery does not give you plants for free, I'd hope they could at least give you a deal on plants that are going out of bloom. I'd love to chip in $20, but I guess you'd have to start a gofundme page or something like that as I can't exactly drop it off on my way home from work

Thank you for the kind words. My grandmother loved her garden, but due to her health she had to leave it behind to come live closer to us.

Here's a picture of her dendrobiums.. when they were in full bloom it looked spectacular



I still have orchids that I have to mount and I can only do this on weekends, so I don't feel comfortable accepting money, but once I get this going maybe I'll create a webpage to post pictures and accept donations. Thank you though!

I forgot to mention that this week I was looking for a Bc. Saint Andre for myself and ended up finding this nursery's website which had small cattleyas for R$10 each.

Since that's only 3 US dollars, I thought it would be a small seedling. I was going to order a few big plants so I decided to buy one anyway and to my surprise it is incredibly healthy and decent sized.



They have about 60 different cattleyas with this price tag, so now I'm tempted to buy a few to use on my project
