Default is there money in orchids?

Kenni,

Now there is a business, boarding plants is good... over near Naples I saw
some people making good money off the snowbirds on that orchid service while
these people are back up north.

I once toyed with the thought of buying 5 acres, fencing it off into 30' x
30' pens, install a lockable gate on each pen, throw some shade "starter"
cloth or plastic over the top, add a master sprinkler system and selling
condo "screened pens" to rich high-rise condo city slickers that want to
grow 50 or 200 orchids outside.

I know all these fat cat Russians buying condos in Miami would go for it...
they would probably want to grow some tomatoes and cabbage also inside their
pen, but that's OK.
