Well, I can't speak for Troy (whose operation had five
people working there, last I checked), but I've been full-time on the
Seedbank since March of this year. Ever since Countryside Orchids
closed down, best as I know I'm the only person working full-time as
an orchid retailer in the Rocky Mountain states. I also have more
orchids in culture than anyone else in that territory, AFAIK. Now I'm
to the point where I list flasks for sale on the web. Of course,
that's taken "only" 8-1/2 years.
The best way to end up with a million bucks in the orchid
biz? Start with TWO million.
