I can't help with the Orchid Society or Greenhouse but for a really great
cooler here is some info:-
Convair Cooler Corp. 1(800) 9 convair - Model WV-47

They are in Phoenix AZ & no retail but a call or search to find the nearest
distributor.
They are designed & manufactured by those wonderful guys down under!
The coolers are more expensive than the norm but are made of a thick heavy
duty polymer &
the only metal in them is the motor & pump shaft.
Good luck in your new area, I'm sure your orchids will reward you.

My orchids whispered to me that they might be far more comfortable in a
Florida home. Naturally I listened to them. It is important to listen
carefully to what your orchids have to say. So my wife and I (I didn't
take
the orchids. Two's company; 200's a crowd.) went to look at what Florida
had
to offer. She was looking for a swimming pool; I was looking for enough
land to put in a greenhouse. We both got lucky and now we are well on our
way to owning a house in North Port. I am enlisting the help of those who
know the area to recommend: 1) an orchid society and 2) what to look for
in
a Florida greenhouse (I was thinking of an evaporative cooler since I saw
one operating at Selby Gardens, but how effective would it be in FL?).
Those of you that have greenhouses, what would you look for if you could
start over? Thanks in advance.
