Who We Are revisited
Welcome, Maia!
Okay, guess it's my turn. Diana Kulaga, Port St. Lucie, Florida. Um, I'm a gal, according to my ever patient husband. We have 250-300 orchids and grow outside around and near the pool, under screening. We have lots of Cattleyas, many Dendrobiums and a load of Vandaceous plants. Oncidium intergenerics and plenty of odds and ends hang out with us, and we grow a bunch of Phals on the patio under cover. We outgrew the pool area a few years ago and added a 12 x 18 extension to the original screen cage. I'm 62 and vice president of the local orchid society. We've been collecting since we bought our first 2 orchids (2 no-tag Dends - who knew??) in late 1999. We try to sell divisions at society meetings and auctions, in order to make room for new ones and the annual Redland orgy plants. I can think of two accomplishments. The first is that I don't have 1,000 orchids! I call that will power! The second is that my husband, Frank, no longer denies that he grows orchids. That stopped when he said he would "specialize in Vandas", which then became "specializing in Phals", LOL. As for miscellaneous stuff, no one is more surprised than am I by the fact that orchids are now a passion for me. I never would have predicted that. Before moving to FL from CT, I wrote seminar material and did motivational speaking gigs. I started a novel prior to moving, but it has taken a back seat to my primary addiction. One day, I'll get it done, though the theme has changed to include - you guessed it - orchids! DK |
