Hello from BC, Canada

[Linda B]

I am very happy to have found this site again. I bought my first orchid, prosthechea cochleata, from Oak Hill, in the 1990's, and I still have it. I grew every kind of orchid, about 150 of them until 2919 when I developed cancer. I had to get rid of most of them because I was unable to care for them. I kept about a dozen, mostly dendrobiums and a couple of phrags. This year I was bit again by the orchid bug, but now I only want to grow summer blooming phals and phragmipediums. Thank goodness for Kingfisher Orchids, there is nothing going on with orchids where I live. Now I am waiting to receive two new phrags and a new cattleya. I have always had pretty good luck with phrags and they are probably one of my favorites.

Welcome back Linda from a long journey! Orchids never leave the soul.

Welcome back Linda! I wish you much health and happiness from SE Michigan!
Only summer bloomers? That will prove difficult. If orchids will bring you joy, peace and happiness, let them put a smile on your face on a year round basis???
Joy knows no season!!

Thank you. I live in the Okanagan so about five hours from Vancouver. I have to order all my orchids. I currently am waiting for an order from Eucagenara which will be shipped from Montreal. Holding my breath until I find out how much the shipping will cost. lol

Wow, that is a scary thought. i already paid one hundred dollars for the plants. Now I'll be on pins and needles until they are shipped and I know the damages.
