I'm new to this site so here's my intro. I started growing orchids in 1990 when I moved to Fort St John, BC on the Alaska Highway, where winter starts in Sep and lasts til May! I started with a Cattelaya, a dendrobium and a Phaleonopsis. My collection has grown to include 6 phals, 5 dendrobiums, 3 Coelogene crystata, 3 oncidium, one paph, one cymbidium, one brassia (longissima) and one chysis (langleyensis). I have had successful reblooming on all these plants except the paph (just aquired last summer), the brassia and the chysis. I moved to Ottawa ON in 1998 and brought a number of orchids with me but I have also aquired a number of new ones since. I picked up the brassia and the chysis as seedlings about 5 years ago and they are still only about 3" across with very little growth. I picked up a phal at the same time and it has grown to about 6" across and looks very healthy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My one regret is that I haven't been too careful about recording proper names and species for my plants. However, I am improving in that area.
