photograph sites, and a nice collection of orchid articles.

seedlings to the

Forums
The Orchid Source Forum
http://forum.theorchidsource.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
The Orchid Source Forum is a big favorite of mine. Flaming and
bashing are not allowed, and the members are some of the most
knowledgeable and friendly of any orchid growers on the web.
There is no fee, but donations are encouraged, to keep this valuable
resource available.
Terrestrial Orchid Forum
http://www.terrorchid.org
This is a good venue to learn about nearly any terrestrial orchid you
want to know about. It has been a great help to me in my search
to become a better terrestrial grower. Members from all over the
world participate in discussions on the orchid plants they grow.
AOS Forum
http://www.orchidweb.org/aos/MessageBoard
The official AOS forum. It has been changed, along with the rest
of the AOS website, hopefully for the better. They are trying to
address the problems that drove me and a lot of members to other forums
on the net. Give them a try.
Orchid Guide Digest
http://www.orchidguide.com/findex.htm
The old Orchid List Digest has been revamped into the Orchid Guide
Digest. Many of the top growers and large nurseries use this
forum to discuss the newest happenings in the Orchid World.
Sometimes the discussions can get pretty heated as giant egos clash,
but there is a lot of good information to be gleaned from these pages.
