My name is Brandan I am 28 and live in Fort Pierce FL. I am a porch grower. I have been addicted now for 6 months and cant stop. I have 39 in my collection counting the small starters. I just found your forum and read some pretty interesting things. So I just wanted to introduce myself before I jump in.

OMG, Brandan!!! I just clicked on your blog- Awesome!!! I especially loved the picture of the Bismarckia Nobilis! That's one bad you know what palm tree. I've seen a lot of palms, but that one is new to me. Good luck with the seeds. I love to grow anything from seed. Keep us posted on your plants- and thanks for sharing the awesome pictures!

Hello neighbor! I live in Vero. Beautiful yard and what a great blog. I like vandas a lot, too. Have you visited Odom's yet? I haven't heard about the two shows you went to. Where are they advertised?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Glad to see a few fellow Floridians here. I am so glad I found this board. I have been reading old threads and looking at old pictures and I am learning a lot from here. Thanks for all of the kind comments about my blog. I am still kinda new but the excitement still has not warn off. I use to think it was a palm bug that I caught but come and find out it is just a growing anything kinda bug. An orchids dang these things are beautiful so many different kinds colors characteristics, I just don't know how my budget is going to keep up with all of my wants.
