Eric

Wolf Creek Mn.... Eric, is that the Wolf Creek that runs through Banning State Park?

Ross

Hi Ross, no I am in the southern part of the state around Austin.
I didn't know about Wolf Creek Falls in Banning State Park.
Eric

Wolf Creek Falls is gorgeous. I used to live a half mile from Banning. Before that, we lived 20 years in Lanesboro. It's good to find another Minnesotan on board. Will you be attending the AOS Meeting and Show in Bloomington, MN this April? There are some good Paph breeders that will be showing and selling orchids as well as many growers of other genera.
you can access information at this site: http://www.orchidsocietyofminnesota.com/

Ross,
Very nice to see your collection (or part of it anyway!)! Hope you will post some photos of those in bud when they open!

Welcome, (btw, I think I haven't said that to you yet!) glad to see you here!

Thanks Heather, I participate in other forums, but as my monicker indicates, I'm a paph freak at heart.

Hi Ross, You have quite a few nice ones. How long have you been growing orchids? I wish I had a room for just orchids but thats not going to happen any time soon . :cry:

Eric

We've had one tough old Cymdidium for around 15 years, but Julie and I have only been collecting orchids seriously for 6 or 7 years. We both buy orchids, I take care of them. Julie is in charge of all the other household plants and most of the outdoor ones. I've reached my limit as far as time and space go, so for every orchid gained, one or more must be sold or given away. Because I like to buy flasks and have several of my own crosses growing at the flaskers, I sell seedlings and some blooming sized plants whenever I get the chance. I am considering posting a list of plants for sale on this site once more of my Paph seedligs are a little bigger. Hopefully we will figure out how to get a greenhouse built without taking out a loan.
