Its a good website for Info for lots of plants and gardening.
And dont forget the 600 plus Native Orchids we have here in the lucky country.
Good luck with your new venture...Cheers...MM

Is there an Orchid society near you, ?
There are usually wonderful members who will give you all the information for your area and if they are like the ones we met here in Rockhampton they will probably share some plants with you when you are starting up.

You know that the first Orchid you buy or have will infect you with the Orchid growing Virus don't you ? LOL

Yes, I think your best bet is to contact a local group - they can answer all your questions whereas a website may not answer all of them and their advice will not have local knowledge. Good luck.
