I went to see a lady about some cacti she had advertised in the local newspaper. (fall of 2000) She had orchids as well. I ended up with one cacti....which I killed....and a couple Cattleyas. After that it became an obsession.I met John M a couple years later and after pestering him endlessly he finally took me under his wing. I've learned most of what I know from him and am still learning every time I visit. Also picked the brains of other growers in our local orchid societies. I came to favour multifloral Paphs a couple years after meeting John.....love every Genus but Paphs are special.I have several orchid books but the best is Lance Birk's Paph Growers Manual. Love it.
