·Hello everyone: In the Spring of next year, I will most likely be starting an independent study with the general theme being orchids, paphs more specifically. However, what is (hopefully) going to set my project apart is that I am going to attempt to create something final that will aid a larger community more so than a large amount of studies that aid a minority of very specifically educated, research-oriented professionals. With that being said, I am looking to find out what anyone out there has to say about orchids: do you find there to not be enough information? do you think you do not have enough exposure to them? have you tried to buy them, and, if so, were daunted by the multitude of species and relatively (sometimes) inconsistent information? are you somewhat frightened when you buy a hybrid that consists of even more hybrids and you have no idea where it came from? if you do have extensive experience in orchids, as I know a lot of you do (way more than me), what is your biggest issue with them? do you find there to be one problem that rises above the others (such as the need to maybe find an easier way to more quickly propagate paphs)? or do you simply find there is way too little knowledge about the natural history of orchids and the rather scary situation they are in in the wild? As I hope you can see, you can basically say anything that is on your mind.
Thanks for reading and for helping.
