Ken was first introduced to orchids by his uncle in the 1960’s and has been growing Cymbidiums himself for over 35 years. Over time, he has added the Odontoglossum alliance plants and several other genera. Since his wife Amy joined in his orchid addiction, they now also raise Cattleyas and Laelias, Lycastes, Encyclias, Vandas, and Masdevallias. Together they even have a few Disas! Their collection now numbers about 2700 Cymbidiums, and about another 2500 of the other genera.
Ken is a judge in the AOS judging program, and heads the CSA judging program. He has written many articles for the CSA Journal.

FINALLY ONLINE!!
SOS BULLETIN BOARD (FORUM) WHERE YOU CAN UPLOAD PHOTOS, ASK QUESTIONS OF EXPERTS AND COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER ORCHID ENTHUSIASTS!
You must create a new user account - then you can upload photos of your blooming orchids, take pictures of your sick plants and get feedback from experienced growers, ask questions, send private messages and even emails to other registered users!
After months of testing, we feel it is finally ready and relatively "idiot" proof and easy to use. We believe it to be fairly secure and if we have any unwanted spam postings, we will be able to increase the security easily.
If you created a user account before, you must redo it including answering a few basic questions about how and where and what type of orchids you grow. You can use any avatar or user name, however we RECOMMEND you use your real name (two words okay! ie Scott Farrell). Why wait! Try it out now:
