I most certainly will Marianne. I have a few favourite places that are very close by, where possibly the sun orchids are coming out at the moment. They're blue in colour and ultra beautiful.

For the last year, every few weeks, I've been buying little potted orchids at our organic farmers market. So I already have a small collection of non-natives. The ones I bought last year haven't flowered again though ~ So I have a lot to learn.

Yes, I'll mainly cultivate local orchids. It's illegal to take them from the bush and even if it wasn't, it wouldn't feel right. But the people who organized the show meet once a month and I'll start going to their meetings and learn, learn, learn. 🦋
