Orchids are another of my hobbies

I am also into Orchids, got started over 30 years ago while we lived in Hawaii. My first orchid which was un-named, I now call K1. It is a strong and hardy plant that blooms several times a year. I have several divisions in my green house and it is a favorite of mine to give as gifts as it is so hardy, even beginners get great results from it.


I have several other favorites one is

Navaho Warrior on the Left and LC Kristie on the right. It is such a joy when they start coming into bloom. Most of my orchids are very fragrant, some are most fragrant in the evening others in the morning.

Welcome to my blog

Hi, and welcome to Raptor Ridge Aussies. Would love to hear from you all. We are located up in the foothills of Northern California and have been raising Aussies for over 12 years. We got our first Aussie back in 1972 and have been hooked ever since. Since we live on a small working ranch, we first got a dog to help with our cattle, but now enjoy them for what Aussies are all about. Great companions that can do it all. Our girls love agility as well as other doggie sports.
