Hi, I'm new to the group, but not new to orchids. I live in the SF Bay area which almost ideal for growing many orchids. I thought I'd introduce myself by putting up a few orchids that are currently in bloom in my greenhouse... but it seems that this group doesn't support standard BB protocols, so I couldn't link to my pictures on FlickR. Instead I invite you to visit my orchid collection.

Since last November I have been maintaining a photolog of orchids that have bloomed in my greenhouse. I have missed a few here and there, but this accounts for most of the them (and certainly all of the good ones). Most of the plants in the bottom 5-6 rows are still in bloom. I'll see if I can figure out how to post pictures this evening. This way to the greenhouse...:

Hello Neil, Those are wonderful. I love the intergenerics, but they are really too large to grow a lot of them unless you have a greenhouse.
