Keith, Do yourself a favour & join your nearest Orchid Society & find a
mentor. This way you
will meet nice people, find out how to grow plants in your neck of the
woods, etc.
Sometimes the speaker of the evening brings his own plants & they raffle
them off.
I have "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Orchids by Alec Pridgeon" for
reference but
then you can research for more on the internet.
Cheers Wendy
