Hey, Matt...gotta differ with that statement cuz I've grown orchids since
the 60's (grin). Maybe it's like keeping warm-growing orchids in cool, wet
Seattle, but orchids grow from above the Arctic Circle to the equator and
I find them easier to grow than many other plants. However, you have to
pick the right genera/species for your conditions. My favorites are the
hardy terrestrials you can grow right in your garden beds...Bletilla is
the easiest. Right now I'd substitute Plumeria for orchids in your
statement...struggling with those tropical beauties! Maybe I should just
stick with koi and goldfish! HA!
