    Gardens and greenhouses in or around Chicago (and anything else worth visiting there)

    Thanks! I was thinking of Garfield park, but figured we already are planning on going to Lincoln park, I didn't want to drag my wife to TWO Conservatories, lol. We'll have to think about that. We will be bringing our (then) 7-month old daughter with us, so that goes into the planning...

    Looking for travel info for orchid-rich areas in Caribbean/Central America

    We are leaning towards a tour of an area, like Costa Rica. It would be amazing to see Monteverde and Arenal! Hopefully in March we could see a lot of orchids in bloom too. Any tips on that? How safe (or unsafe) is it? I hear warnings, but how bad is it really if we are on a tour?

    Looking for travel info for orchid-rich areas in Caribbean/Central America

    Hey! So, I see there are a few people on here who have visited Costa Rica and have been able to see lots of native orchids, as well as those who have been to the Caribbean. Where would be the best places to visit in the spring (March/April) to be able to see orchids (preferably in bloom) in...

    Caribbean honeymoon destination suggestions

    Thanks for the help! We are actually looking at Sandals or something like that - all inclusive and preferable adults only. We are thinking of keeping to the Caribbean, but the Mexico/Central American coast is not ruled out. It just depends on where the good resorts are. Costa Rica would be...

    Caribbean honeymoon destination suggestions

    Hey all! So, I haven't been around here for a while. I've been busy - getting married! June 20 was the date, but we didn't have time for a honeymoon, so we are planning for the Christmas holidays (after Christmas - Dec 25/26 to Jan 3). We have narrowed down the destination list to the...

    Phrag besseae

    Nice! I like the presentation of the plant. Don't besseas usually climb instead of clump like that? How did you do that? I haven't seen many specimen-size, multi-spike besseaes like yours.

    Stan. tigrinum

    What temperatures and light? I have a few Stanhopeas, including tigrina, but can't figure out how to bloom them. Do you soak the plant when you water, then let it dry out? How dry do you let it get?

    Paphiopedilum henryanum in the wild

    Do you know what the other orchids are that are growing with the henryanum? Looks like a Coelogyne to me.

    Hengduang Flask

    Which city/town are you in, or at least, what area? I've never been there, but it looks beautiful! It's close to the end of shipping season for here too. Fall can be nice, but it's risky.

    Erythrone gardens

    Looks like the flowers are about to come out of the centre. Take more photos as it progresses, and there is more chance of identifying. Can you get more of a whole plant shot?

    Dendrobium falcorostrum

    Nice! About how big is that whole plant? How did you photograph it? Did you bring your own 'background cloth' with you in case you found a nice specimen?
