Hello Victor - I am new to this also and a novice to the orchid growing profession. I love any flower and orchids have always been my passion, especially that I found out the we can grow them in the northern climate.

I would glad to help you in any way i can with advice .first of all ishould tell you that i live on the east coast of australia and we have a different weather pattern than you and the weather here is a bit different than your's.
the temperature in summer ranges from 35 celcius to 43 degree's celcius. That is between 90 to100 in summer and first thing is to grow most of your cat's in a bushhouse and stop them getting sunburnt.
So if your would like any hint's please let me now your growing conditions first ! ex snow misty rain and such .
Thank's for your intest and if i can help just ask
bye victor
