I particularly like rhododendrons, alpine plants and bulbs. Indoors, I grow mostly orchids. I am very fortunate to now be working as a research horticulturist for the Memorial University Botanical Garden in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada."   Photo from Todd_Boland   "Here I am, hanging out in the greenhouse at work...my favorite place!"
