Hi,

A little personal history: I have just completed a PhD in Physical
Chemistry. It was challenging and fun, but it's nice to be done. I am
looking at taking a job with a rocket engine manufacturing company, so keep
your fingers crossed! I am married and we have three shelter cats that share
our home.

Okay, now to the interesting part: I am a greenhouse/terrarium grower in
Central Texas. I just love my pleuros, in all of their variety. This last
weekend, I attended the Oklahoma Orchid Society's show that was combined with
the spring AOS members meeting. I went to the Pleurothallis Alliance
meeting, and promptly signed up to be a member! I offer you my list
below...not all of them are or have bloomed, yet. There are some that I feel
immense relief just to see them make it through the summers down here. Two
years ago, my husband built me a humidifier/cooler that kept the greenhouse
in the low to mid eighties when outside it was in the triple digits.

I enjoy learning about these little gems and was glad to meet with a bunch of
pleuro enthusiasts this weekend. Also, I ended up bringing a couple more
home, but they haven't been added to the list, yet! I hope to get know some
of you online and, maybe we will meet at a meeting some day.

Regards,

Vanessa Castleberry
