Hello! Slipper & Coelogyne fanatic down under

Hello all!

I just joined this forum so thought I'd intorduce myself and say "Hi".

Kevin here, from Melbourne Australia. I am growing about 300 orchids, mostly Paphs in the inner city of Melbourne. I also have a decent collection of Coelogyne and a handfull of Dendrobiums.

Drop me a line and say hello!

Cheers,

-Kevin

There seems to be almost as many people on this forum from Australia as from the US. Welcome.

Hello Cynthia,

Yes I've noticed more than a few which is one of the reasons I signed on, thinking i'd get some valuable advice about the specifics of growing in our climate here....which actually might not be too different in some parts of the country than Arizona.

cheers,

-K

Welcome Kevin - looks like you must have quite a family there. Look forward to you sharing with us some pics of your plants/blooms and growing area one of these days. mike

Hi mayres,

Yes there are alot of Aussie orchid fans. We're pretty spread out though. I just got a new digital camera today so hopefully in a week or 2 i'll have some things to show.

Cheers!

I'm already looking forward to it!

Mike, Australia is a third larger than mainland U.S. with a population the size of NY city................ 20 Million!

My state, South Australia is twice the size of Texas with a population on 1.9 million. (last year's census), go figure.

In Oz we have a lot of space between capital cities.

Like the States USED to be.
