    - 2 years ago - 4 comments
    For those who are interested, I have three blogs in which I post a lot more pictures than I post here. If you are interested, please have a look. The first blog highlights the tropical orchids I grow: orchidsinbloom-ron.blogspot.com/ I am no longer posting on this blog since I am no longer growing tropical orchids.
