-- Who am I and What Is My Gender?
I am Toni Carroll- a woman.
-- Where am I? Where do I grow?
I am in South Florida- northern Broward County
-- What do I grow?
I have many Dends naturalized in trees, and am now naturalizing Phals as
well. Lots of Vandas and similar, a few Catts, a few Brassavolas, Oncids
etc. My favorite genus is Encyclia. I try and grow a little bit of
everything that will do well here, so I have a fair number of different
genus plants. I prefer species plants over floof. All of my plants remain
outdoors unless a freeze or hurricane is expected, and the naturalized ones
of course stay out regardless. And although I do feed weakly weekly none of
them have ever been coddled or sprayed for anything. Cosmetic damage is
acceptable 'round here.
I have begun a page of photos here-
