Thanks all for your contributions - unfortunately my work commitments did
not allow me to travel to the suggested places as they were several hours
drive out of Chicago and renting a car for a such a short time did not seem
economic.

Cheers

Very true. I speak as a resident of Chicago. I highly recommend that
you use a service like mapquest to make sure that you have a decent set
of directions.

Interesting coincidence: It was Rob who gave me directions and
recommendations for orchids when I moved to Chicago many years ago.


Heh... I used to do the 'tour' every other week or so, so I knew it pretty
well. It was expensive to live in Chicago, for orchid related reasons if
no other.

Of course a year or two ago when I went to Oak Hill (after an absence of
three or four years), I couldn't find the place due to all of the
development that has gone on. Weird.

1) There is always room for one more orchid
2) There is always room for two more orchids
2a) See rule 1
3) When one has insufficient credit to obtain more
orchids, obtain more credit
