Welcome

I have known Dendrobium speciosum, or rock lily, all my life. I started growing it when my wife and I purchased our first home back in 1975. Over 48 years have now passed and the passion has not abated nor been stronger for me than it is right now, even as I write.

A few years back I started thinking I should be now crossing the absolute best of my plants and seeing what I can do with them. So that is exactly what I started doing. I now make an admission to readers of these pages; I do not consider myself to be a good grower. I consider myself to be a reasonable grower but hopefully you can learn a thing or two from my discoveries.

I write about my findings in my blog and my eNewsletter, the Rock Lily Rag.
