Hi, I too love orchids and have managed two orchid greenhouses for eight years. I do not do this any longer, but suggest someone start an Orchid garden club. This site may not be the best as it does not allow the uploading of pictures -- and what can I say. Without pictures it just does not work. I did a garden blog on google that works very well. Perhaps you should try it on. Otherwise "community" garden site does at least let you put links into your message. My own blog is:

For the same matter a good bonsai forum does not exist and both of these are some of the most popular garden sales on ebay. Again Goggle offers free websites, with templates to match your personality. They are not CSS websites, nor can you put search links, but hey they are free and offer more widgets, links, pic. uploads than 10.00 a month websites such as Homestead offers. Check out my bonsai website.
