Ok, so as some of you know, I started growing orchids while at Georgia Tech.
Well a few years ago while taking a side-trip from Disney up to Apopka, I
learned that Jim Krull was there at about the same time.

This weekend, I found that Pat Brennan was too! (OK, he "just missed" us,
but what a strange coincidence.)

I wonder if there are any other orchid-growing "refugees from the North
Avenue Trade School" out there?


Apopka, eh? My mother lives there, and I've visited a number of
greenhouses in the area. Many of them are commercial sales only, no
sales less than $300 or so, but a couple of them are willing to sell
individual plants at retail. In a few years the whole place will be
developed to the max; land is just too valuable that close to the
Empire of the Rat for it to be "wasted" on greenhouses.
