Bill from Sacramento
 
Hey all,

My name is Bill and I live in Sacramento. I've been growing orchids for a few years now, but only seriously buying them for a year or so. I just moved recently to Sac from the Bay Area, and am a member of the Sacramento Orchid Society. I'm mostly growing Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, Bulbophyllums, some Pleurothallids, among quite a few other genera. Last time I counted I was up to 50ish plants, and I've definitely added some internet purchases since this whole pandemic began. I I just set up a basement mini-greenhouse with LED's which I am super excited about, as it opens up quite a few more options for cool and humidity loving plants, especially here in hot Sacramento.

I've been a lurker on this forum for a long time, so here's my intro!

Dendrochillum wenzelli. It has dozens of tiny flowers on each inflorescence. I like how it looks like grass, until it blooms.
