Re: Intro- Mariana

Mariana,

          Welcome to the list.  Sorry to hear about your illness.  I have
some friends suffering from the same disease, and apparently  it is
incurable, although seldom fatal.  Hopefully it won't be fatal for your
husband either.

certificate in horticulture from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.  In the summer
I grow vegetables and tend to my front yard in which I recently established
a perennial garden.  A mother of two wonderful boys and a wife to a great
guy who is very patient and supportive of my hobbies :).

known as Orchid Fever.   I grow a wide variety of orchids but not as wide I
as I would like it to be.  I have a basement that is about 1,500 sq feet
which I'm planning to eventually convert into an orchid nirvana <g>.  I
would like to take a trip in to the jungles of Borneo, Malaysia simply
because I want to see a particular orchid species blooming in the wild.  My
husband, two days ago broke the stem of an almost open slipper orchid, I'm
still reeling from the shock.

in a wide array of colors which is really nice when it's cold and miserable
outside. Of course I also have two denrobiums turning yellow leaves and than
losing them, and I'm not sure why.
