Orchid Tidbits
Where can I learn more about orchids?
There are many excellent books available to help a novice grower learn more. Most bookstores and public libraries have them. The American Orchid Society's website at aos.org has a wealth of information, and joining them will enable you to purchase books at a discount. There are also chat groups available for making personal contact with other orchid hobbyists.
Perhaps the most useful step you can take is to find an experienced grower and make friends. And your best bet is to join your local orchid society.
