I would like to introduce myself:

A few years back I bought my first orchid, which was as "usual beginner orchid" as it could be - a white Phalaenopsis. I watered it, fed it and it kept blooming.
It was not until a couple years later, though, that the purchase of a Dendrobium and an Odontoglossum made me so curious, that I bought a book, and another one... The start of what my friends call "orchid-crazy".

I have been growing orchids for almost five years now and I continue to be fascinated!

Most of my plants grow indoors, either on windowsills or on a light stand, which I built (pictured on the left). A few plants are enjoying the great outdoors of the yard. My plants get watered and fed once a week, with slight changes in the feeding schedule for the winter months.

All photos on this site were taken with a Nikon 6006 and scanned for the website.
I will continue to add new pictures over time.

So, why "Tiger"?: Many of you have asked me:"What's up with the Tiger in Tiger Orchids?". I will try to explain: I have always loved tigers and the tiger has been with me through a big part of my life. You could call it a protector, friend or "totem" or something like that. Therefore I thought the tiger would be the perfect association for my little endeavour.
