international orchid experience?
Reading the posts by Via (Hillevi P) from Sweden, I thought that it would be
really interesting if residents of different countries (or different states) would like to share with us a brief review of orchid cultivation and/or wild orchids in the countries where you live in. I realize that we are very fortunate here in the US: we have many vendors of orchids who we can visit or order from without needing to import from abroad, the availability and affordability of orchids has been improving fast (one can buy orchids at local supermarkets, at least in the many major urban areas), orchid growing is quickly becoming a very popular hobby. I am always very interested to see glimpses of other cultures here. AusDigi has been posting photos of wild orchids growing in Australia on ABPO. We have a whole bunch of rgo'ers who come from all over the world, plus I am sure that many of the lurkers are from interesting places as well. Even within the US, the experience of growing orchids in Wisconsin is very different from growing in Florida. We have been encountering some of these cultural differences over time. I recall one poster assuming that a question referred to orchids grown in a greenhouse because where he came from people do not grow on windowsills (I believe it was in Australia, I will need to check archives again). I am always a bit jealous of those of you who can grow orchids outdoors. I think it would be interesting if you shared more with us what it is like in your nook of the world. Joanna |
