Right now it's about 10 deg F and I've had to move even my cold loving dendrobiums away from my double paned windows!

At least my interior grow room plants ( lots of paphs, phrags & warm dends) are happy.

While I love tropical species and hybrids, I am an equal fan of native terrestrial species. I have found and photographed roughly 1/3 of Ontario's native orchids and cant wait till spring to look for more.

Tropical plants are my salvation as I am suffering from spinal arthritis and disc disease, and as such once common field trips are now few and far between.

There are several active orchid clubs in S. Ontario and an excellent central association referred to as SOOS (Southern Ontario Orchid Society). SOOS is made up of commercial and hobby growers, collectors, photographers and conservationists.

I really like the opportunity to navigate through Slippertalk threads to get ideas, solve cultural challenges, satisfy my growing curiosity ( sorry I couldn't help slipping in the pun).

Thanks for putting together such a great resource.

Hey from Southern Ontario!
How long have you been growing for? Are you a member of any orchid clubs, been around the shows?
 
Welcome to Slippertalk! It's good to be on this forum and go on orchid treks and see growing spaces through the eyes of others.
 
Greetings from southern nj. I was brought up in upstate ny and have some pictures from Ontario, but some I haven't seen or found yet, either from distance wrong season or dry years. Maybe we can trade spots. Some of us still haven't found white adders mouth. There are lots of nice native pics here, glad to have more especially since I'm more in unknown territory that likely has less plants to find
