Jim,

  I understand the hold that orchidaceae has upon a person, I too am within its 
grasp...I even went so far as to compile a list of all nurseries that offer 
native and hardy orchids...and am the proud owner of a Cyp. 
calceolus/pubescens? can't remember..lol...which orchid is the photo of the 
seedpod of? Habenaria?

I took this picture a while back. I used to have an interest in tropical 
orchids which lead to my interest in temperate, terrestrial orchids—it was a 
long convoluted journey.  In a sense,  this picture captures just how far 
afield I have gone with Orchids. Of course I should explain, this is a seed pod 
for a temperate, terrestrial orchid. For those that are “orchid nuts” the idea 
that temperate Orchids die out rather quickly without winter cold is almost 
unbelievable. It turns out that these plants when well sited can be an 
interesting addition to the rock 
garden.http://photos.imageevent.com/teita/rgplants2011/websize/orchidsin%20winter.jpg
