My name is Garland. I'm known as "Slipperhead" on several of the online
orchid forums.

I live in Midlothian, VA

I'm 46 years old and have been married for 18 years and have two offspring.

I'm a new member of the Virginia Orchid Society.

I currently grow under flourescent lights at home. Mostly species and
complex paphs and lots of seedlings in compots. I have recently
experimented with some cycnoches species and hybrid seedlings. Several are
already in bud in small pots. My experiment with s/h is complete and it is
now the preferred potting medium for all my paphs and phrags.

My Florian greenhouse will be installed in the spring. I have other orchids
bordered at a local nursery.

I attended a small orchid show in Vista, CA in 1990 and met my 96 year-old
orchid mentor. The hobby got out of hand shortly afterward.

I'm a self-employed safety consultant and run consulting operations based in
two states. I also like to hunt, fish, sail, and fly sailplanes.

I enjoy reading the forums and trading plants with friends.
