Greetings from south Louisiana

Hello all -
Plant geek, actually, with a debilitating obsession towards orchids.
Growing mostly mounted, heat-loving or heat-tolerant species, particularly vandaceous and catasetinae. Soft spot for oddballs, miniatures and dendrobium species. No Phals, Paphs. Getting a little peevish about the name changes, but don't change my tags any more!
Also growing/trying many tropical and sub-tropical fruits.
Regards - Nancy

Hi and welcome to the forum Nancyanne. Would love to hear about and see what you
are growing. I know what you mean about all the name changes, but as DNA PCR testing
is getting more advanced, they are moving genera around and creating new ones. I know
it's a pain, but I guess these guys have to make a living and keep their jobs. (LOL).
Anyway great people here with lots of information.

Hi Nancy, Welcome to the forum!! Hope you find it as useful.interesting, and friendly as the rest of us. Like Tobi said, we'd love to see some pics of your orchids when you can post them And consider yourself forwarned: orchids are VERY addicting and we are all great facilitators This is just the place to feed your addiction...

Hello Nancy. Welcome. Please post some pics. I love to see the orchids and other plants you have. I've been thinking of growing tropical fruit trees here too but not sure what will work. Lychee would be great but it's too large. Might settle for a papaya or dwarf mango. What kinds are you growing? I'm like you. Love all kinds of plants! Especially orchids!
