Hi Martin, Welcome to Tennessee. Knoxville, Tennessee's climate lends itself to growing virtually any but the very coldest growing orchids with ease. There are a couple local orchid businesses in Knoxville, including Elmore Orchids, and there is Lines Orchids in Chattanooga (a large place but no website), Owens Orchids near Asheville, North Carolina, and Peach State Orchids in Atlanta...all within a two hour drive for you...and you can see what they grow. For mail-order orchids...the sky is the limit...there are many dozens of good places.
Hope this helps, Ed Merkle Merkle's Orchids 1008 Maplewood Place Nashville, Tennessee 37216 _________________________________________________________________ http://homepage.msn.com/zune?icid=hmetagline _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
