#226512 - 01/14/10 01:22 PM Hi New Here to Orchid Source
nanhug OSF Member Registered: 01/13/10 Posts: 7	I left a post on "Orchid Growing Area Discussion" I have a Paph that will have a double bloom on one spike. I am in So. California and have been addicted to orchids for about 8 years - I have mainly Dendrobium, Phalanopsis and Paphs. I have not had luck with the Cattleyas or the Oncidiums - I alway end up killing them. So I stay with the hardier varieties. At least they are hardy for me!!! _________________________ “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” -anonymous

You'll find we all have fun killing, errrr DIMPing* different species while allowing others to thrive carefree lives in our particular artifices. *= Died In My Possession _________________________ Blessed are those who can give without remembering And take without forgetting.

nanhug OSF Member Registered: 01/13/10 Posts: 7	No I would forget about them if I had them outside. I have two places in my house for them. One in the Kitchen behind my sink and the other in my Living Room - They seem to like the south facing windows. _________________________ “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” -anonymous
