I have recently moved back to Oakland, and since then have not really had time to care for my 'chids properly. I started my orchid collection about a year ago when we moved to Hawaii. I got free orchids to start with, and we all know what happened after that.... I *had* to have more; and more, and more....

Now after the move back to Oakland I still have about 20 plants. I really feel like I am experimenting since I don't have a lot of background knowledge about orchids. However, I have loved plants since I was a baby - so I'm not new to gardening.

I love to learn new things. My partner Kenyata, and I have a particular yearn to learn. This includes not just new gardening techniques, but knowledge in general from feminist theory to childrearing, business management to computer teching - we learn it all.

Gardening fulfills the spirit.
