So what this all about?

Hello, My Name is Daniel Boire and I am a Horticulture Student at S.U.N.Y Cobleskil. If you haven't heard of it don't worry, not many people have.

Like many of the plant science folk around here I have a passion for those fascinating photosynthetically active organisms that surround us. Orchids are my passion; granted I'm no expert, but who says I couldnt be. 

Over the Next 365 days I will be blogging about a New Orchid every day. Shouldn't be to hard considering that there are over 26,000species in existence, and 100,000 hybrids! (Thanks Wikipedia.) I will not be including hybrids in this, there are way to many sweet species out there. I will be covering Both "hardy" and tropical orchids and if you are reading this thinking to yourself "Gosh, I sure do hope that this fellow does one on (insert orchid here)" then Go ahead and ask.

I will be starting this adventure on January 31, which is a Monday. WISH ME LUCK!
