Hi everyone...glad there is a pleuro. digest now. A little about myself..am retired microbiologist...have been growing orchids for about 45 years now..used to have a large collection of masd. drac. and pleuros..but recently moved to zone 9a..and the rest is history as they say. I had great success growing in a large Florist refrigerator for many years..but dear hubby didn't want to spend the $$$ to move the behemoth to Florida. It was a triple door model and room for several hundred miniatures..so sad but wiser, I now am limiting my collection to warm growing orchids.
Now I would like all of you wiser types to give me some free advice on what "warm" growing pleurothallids are available and where.? I am having some small sucess with Sophronites cernua but all other varieties of Sophs have croaked...guess that proves what heat tolerance I might need. I do have a few pleurothallids still alive...and am anxious to grow some more.
One of the happiest memories I cherish is a day about 7-8 yrs ago..when I met Carlo B. in Elkhorn to have an orchid show and tell, and he brought the most equisite Masdevalia..(I believe it was rosea). I was speechless at this tiny plants pristine beauty. Thanks Carlo...it is a memory that is frozen in my mental orchid library.
