    Not too much I can say about myself. I'm a collector of various things, EAPG, American Brilliant glass, Depression Glass, Silver Plate and have a few old photographs in our collection. I also grow Orchids, Hibiscus, Cactus and Succulents and have two greenhouses in my backyard. I'm a retired Army veteran of 22yrs.

    Personally I didn't think I'd be able to grow them either however I seem to have really good luck. I buy them from Walmart when they go on sale after holiday's like Mothers Day. I've got 43 out in my greenhouse at the moment and quite a few are in bloom. This is just a few. DSC07257.JPG DSC07264.JPG DSC07293.JPG

    NICE! For "guy" reference, the last one is the color designers often refer to as "orchid". Just in case you run into it.
