Well, I am listening to a webcast of the Linfield game (thanks for the
airfare, Al - not!!) ;-), so I am stuck at the computer long enough to participate in this thread. Who am I and What Is My Gender? Reka, female Where am I? Where do I grow? Northern Italy, but native of the most beautiful State in the US. Any available space which gets light. :-) More specifically in a sunroom with about 8 1/2 feet of windowsill and over 65 square feet of windows facing SSW, plus a cart with 4 24x14" shelves and one each 24" cool and warm fluorescent on each shelf. The orchids wander out onto two balconies, N & S in the summer. Somehow, they just don't all fit back into the sun room again after summer.?!*# What do I grow? About 85 total: Phalaenopsis, Oncidium alliance, Cattleya alliance and a few assorted jokers. The decade of my age? Top of the fourth and the bases are loaded! How long have I been growing orchids? Well, I got my first one about twenty years ago, but as my apartment was so dark, I finally got really going on them eleven years ago when we bought our current sunny apartment. My biggest orchid accomplishment(s)? Killing the most expensive and hard to get orchid I have ever had. It steels you for many things to come... Miscellaneous Info... I find caring for my orchids to be excellent therapy, somewhat like yoga, only more exciting when you find development where you never expected it. |
