Hello everyone, My name is Bill and I've been growing orchids with varying sucess since 1975. My comfort zone is phals and paphs with a few different species over the years. I currently have about 30 plants. I grow them mostly in an unheated basement under lights(T5's) on shelving units wrapped with plastic to heat and maintain humidity. When they come into bloom, my wife allows them to come upstairs for a while.
I found this site because of my GPS. I was going to J&L Orchids in Easton CT for their annual sale.(20% off- I couldn't resist). I was following the voice and obediently making all the turns when I came to a dead end. I turned around to go back to the main road and I see a car with Mass. plates stopped. I figured these people must have the same voice directing them, so I get out of my car and sure enough they are going to J&L also. When we finally get to J&L(there are 2 Sherwood Rds in Easton) I meet Kathy and she gives me this website. So, here I am.
Here's 2 of my recent blooms:
