Welcome! One of the wnderful things about orchids is that they come form all over the world and are found in every climate except arctic/anarctic. So whatever your conditions are, there's an orchid for you. The key isto find out what your conditions are then select orchids that like those conditions.

Asklots of questions. We're here to help!

Hi Ken, Glad to have you with us You found a terrific site and your timing is perfect. The" powers that be" just did a major upgrade to the site and we were all going through withdrawal for a while. You (sooooo lucky) have only the benefits to look forward to. So tell us what you're growing and post some pics when you can. Nice to have you here

Welcome Ken! I know that you'll enjoy this site. I've learned loads! Ask any questions that you might have. Where I live, it's cold and nasty too. I'm still enjoying my orchids!

Hello Ken, I am sure you will get some good advice here........and I bet you will be able to grow orchids even in the cold. Our high today is suppose to be 45 and than only 25 tomorrow...................so you can do it!
