Where in the orchid world do you live?
 
Where do you live? While in the chat room, a number of us were discussing where we live and grow orchids.
We thought it would be interesting to get everybody involved...

I'm in Spring Hill, on the west coast of Florida

Recently moved from the East Coast of Florida to Central Florida.

Ditto!

I came home at like 11 last night and went to the chatroom. There were three people there :scratchhead:. I think I was late.

BTW, to admin: Love the icons!

orcdfrk 06-25-2006 11:30 AM

Hey everyone, I live in Edmonton Alberta and currently have about 100 orchids(a little of everything) and grow just about every way. Some mounted, some s/h, some in a vivarium. Thats a little about me

justatypn 06-25-2006 12:20 PM

Hi Cheryl,
Spring Hill is on the west coast, south of Gainesville. I'm about 40 miles or so north of Tampa. Have you ever heard of WeekiWachee, the park with the mermaids?
I'm about a mile from there.

justatypn 06-25-2006 10:08 PM

Ahhhh....yes I have heard of WeekiWachee. I have lived in Florida (central and east coast) for many years and my husband is a native born in downtown Orlando.

Oscarman 06-26-2006 12:04 AM

Born, raised and bred in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Hi Orcdfrk!

Sandra Billeter 06-26-2006 03:11 PM

Nine miles west of the ocean at downtown Myrtle Beach, SC. We've got about 175 orchids in a GH so something is always blooming.

Sandra in South Carolina

cb977 06-26-2006 07:46 PM

Sandra, that must be beautiful :) I was in Myrtle Beach years ago and thought it was gorgeous. To live so close to the ocean is great!

Vee 09-26-2006 03:24 PM

I live about 20 miles south of Seattle in a place called Normandy Park. Quite a distance away from the majority that seem to live in Florida!

justatypn 09-26-2006 05:37 PM

:welcome: Aboard Vee and rh, nice to have you's around the OB, a wealth of knowledge here and as you can see many throughout the country. Many are from Fl :biggrin: as well. Hope you's can join the nightly chats a different topic every night, but whose to say we will stay on task. Been a while since I have been in the chat room, hope to see you's soon within, schedule is tight now a days, how dare the job interrupt my fun on the OB, but it pays the bills. Enjoy, glad your here. :banana:

Ray 09-26-2006 06:18 PM

Right now I'm in Doylestown in beautiful Bucks County, PA, about 30 miles north of Philly, and 10 miles south of Parkside!

I have grown orchids in Atlanta GA, Louisville KY, LaGrange KY, Georgetown SC, Jackson NJ before hitting here 17 years ago.
