As a kid in rural Mississippi, trust me, NOBODY gave a crap about orchids except me. All I had were catalogs and AOS Bulletins (now known as Orchids Magazine). 30 years later (I was a very young kid!) I finally find myself settled into a city (Memphis) with a great orchid society and it is wonderful! There are dozens of folks here in town that are EXTREMELY knowledgeable and experienced in growing orchids. Of course, there are all of you great folks I have come to know on Slippertalk, too! So anyway, I just wanted to say that it is wonderful to connect with all the great people who share my passion for orchids -- much better than those lonely days with nothing but a Jones & Scully catalog!
