Fishing Creek Orchids-Greenhouse Tour
Brought my camera to work with me this past Wednesday and took a few shots of the greenhouse! I swear, I have the best job imaginable; you should all be jealous!!

Bob I love Habenaria Medusae I see in your greenhouse blooming now. Do you guys sell them? I have one seller here in Florida that I am waiting for his answer for some weeks now, he had mix tray and he is waiting for them to bloom to know which one is Medusae, but it is taking quite some time:-) I would love to get one in bloom so I can take some macro pics.

First of all, it not my greenhouse, I just work there. It's owned by Stephen and Geri Male. So all credit for growing goes Steve!!
Yes we do sell them, I think they are somewhere around the $50 price point. Give Steve a call at (717)-599-5390 or email him at fcvorchids@aol.com
Funny you should mention macro shots, I took a few while at the greenhouse and I'm just about to post them! Keep an eye out!!

Lucky you, to be working with orchids all day. No wonder why my current job is boring--because it has nothing to do with orchids! LOL. Anyways, thanks for sharing those pics.

Hmm, when I retire, I'd be willing to volunteer to work in a place like that. Will work for orchids!

That's basically how my set up is. I get paid cash, but it ends up being orchids
