Hi, there plant lovers! I am currently looking for a source of hardy orchids and ferns suitable for growing in my garden here in Ft. Collins, CO. For those of you not familiar with Fort Collins, the typical first frost (if there is such a thing) arrives around September or October and the winter low is likely not below -20 F (-40 F for a real cold winter). I am also interested in non-commonplace bulbs for garden growing. It's just a hobby but it keeps me amused. Finally, for anyone interested in general orchid growing and seeking advice, feel free to ask any questions on your mind. If I can figure out how to get a response to you on UNIX you may very well get a reply. Cheers, Arnold (hpfcla!hpfclr!arnold)

I would suggest trying White Flower Farms Litchfield, Conn (sorry, I have not got the full address) I have not yet ordered anything from them but - they publish beautiful and informative catalogs - they are polite and helpful over the phone - they seem to specialize in things hardy in New England, some of which should be appropriate for you.
