 Happy to see you took advantage of the sale! For the price, I wasn't expecting the beauties I got either  |

Oak Hill is a class act.
Has anyone ever heard Hermann speak? We had him come in 2006 to a seminar we held in Springfield. I have to tell you that I know people who have seen him speak a number of different places, never talk about the same thing, but give excellent presentations wherever he spoke. We have also bought a number of plants from them before and they are in good shape when you buy them. If you get them somewhere else, they need to be cleaned up because they can look pretty ratty. I think that in our area, there is absolutely no comparison to anyone else.  |

I've never had the pleasure of hearing a presentation by anybody from Oak Hill but boy oh boy, would I love to!
They are among my favorite vendors, have NEVER had the slightest hint of a problem from them with them.
On another note, this thread just made me realize just how bad my addiction is...
I had promised myself (and hubby  ) that I wouldn't buy any more 'chids till I get to the WOC in January.
For the past few days, I've been thinking maybe I should order just one as it's been awhile.
I see from the start date of this thread that it's only been two weeks! 
HELP!!! |

I think Hermann is the only one
that does the talks. His daughter and son-in-law run the shop for the most part. I think he does a lot of traveling. He used to work for Hausermann's years and years ago before he split with them and went out on his own. Really nice man.

As many opportunities as you have
to buy great orchids where you are, I gotta tell you, I'm jealous as hell. I cannot imagine how many orchids I would have if I lived where you are-my wife would probably have me living on the porch, because I would have filled my house and greenhouse many times over. |

Gregg, is the porch insulated and does it have a south exposure?  |
