Hello From Sunny South FL

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?

Holy canole! Those pics on your website are awesome. I'm south of you in the southern end of Palm Beach County so, I'm a Floridian too, via NY and Calif. first. Welcome aboard Brandon.

And you're right, this is paradise!

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.
