Heaps of people grow them on the northern coastline of NSW, I know of people
who grow them around Brisbane?

If you are on the coast there it never gets to 45C..........you must be a
fair way inland to have those kind of temps..........those temps and
humidity is practically unheard of in Australia.

I don't disbelieve you but I would really like to know where you get that
heat and humidity.

I'm on the beautiful far north coast of N.S.W ... 45 c here today with 89%
humidity ;o(
Some people seem to grow them ok, I just didn't have any luck, I have a
friend
who lives in Toowoomba and he grows them up there very well

Hi all .. today must be my lucky day ..I'm off work after having minor
surgery on my knee and was surfing ( as you do ) the net and one thing
led to another and I found this news group.
My names Maggie, I am addicted to orchids ..phew now its out in the
open I feel so much better.
I've spent the afternoon reading all your emails and it seems like a
nice place to visit, I've learnt a few things and now realise just
how
lucky I am to live in a place where I don't need heating, misting or
any of the other stuff some of you seem to need.
My orchids grow in trees or a shade house all year round, I do
fertilize
regularly and need to water a lots due to the heat.
Both my father and grandfather grew orchids .. mainly cymbidiums and
catt's after they died I inherited their collections well the
cymbidiums
died ( it's rather humid and hot here) and the catt's struggled for a
few years till about 2 years ago I joined the orchid society and
learnt
how to take care of them .. now they are growing madly and flowering
as
well .. and of course I've purchased a few 100 more, just too keep
them
company.

Well this was just meant to be a little hello and I've talked to much
as
usual
Maggie
