Hi Barney,

That's great news about your hip. Hopefully you'll be like new in no  
time. Raising orchids sounds wonderful. Is this a hobby or a  
business? The blossom you posted is beautiful. Such a pure look to  
it. Have you ever visited the orchid collection at Longwood Gardens?  
I don't know how many varieties they have but it's a lot. They have  
so many in bloom every day of the year. It doesn't look that easy to  
grow them though. The room is made of stone and concrete and is  
always wet and very humid. Neat place. Beautiful flowers.
