Hi!
I'm Teri, and I currently reside in Washington state. I am an undergrad student on the fast track to Ph.D. in medical anthropology; however, my next degree will be a minor in ethnobotany. I started collecting orchids just 5 years ago, so I am relatively new in the hobby. Surprisingly and fortunately, I've only ever killed a phal and an oncidium seedling; no other orchid casualties yet! I have partially converted my study into an orchid conservatory with a subtropical climate, and I add to my collection as often as I can find something incredible on sale (which isn't as often as any of us would like).
Since I live in Washington, and the number of species that could survive here are far and few between, I am sad to say I do not yet have a greenhouse setup or orchid garden. Still talking the fiance into moving somewhere warmer!
But enough about me; my primary interests are paphiopedilum, cymbidium, oncidium and anything entirely off-the-wall strange. I also run an online curated topical and exotic plant shop, but I won't be sharing that here. However, I will say that my carnivorous plant collection is probably more expansive than my orchid collection!
Does anyone have a favorite paph that I might be missing out on? Nice to meet you all!
