Hi. I've been eavesdroping for a few weeks. I heard about this list
through the orchid list that I belong to. I thought I would introduce
myself and ask a few questions that I am sure you have answered many times
before.

I do not grow any CP but am interested in beginning. I find the shapes,
lifestyle very interesting. I checked out the suppliers in the index and
have sent for a few catalogs. While I am waiting, are there books for a
beginner that I should be checking out? Anything different (the big
picture) about growing CP as compared to orchids (like ignore them and they
grow better, no fertilizer, etc). Special supplies I need? Are there
societys (local and national) that I should be aware of?

If there is a FAQ somewhere that I missed, could some please direct me to
it. Mail can be directed to me personally if the list has been through the
questions time and time again. Thanks!

JOHN
