I'm only one person.. & I'm an Artist.. I've dedicated my life to art music & serving others.. I am a Primary caregiver.. I've spent most of my adult life growing tropical plants as a hobby, to paint.. as subjects for a book I hope to publish.. in the near future.. I began growing exotics in grade school..& eventually had two greenhouses in our back yard at home..one was 28 feet by 36 feet.. the other was a glass house around 900 square feet. I raised orchids and bromeliads..I focused on the plants from several families, Neoregelia, Cryptanthus, Billbergia, & Vrisea. In the orchids, were Cattleya, Epidendrum, Dendrobium, Miltonia, & Oncidium. In 1985 someone decided to kill all of my plants.. using a gallon jug of round up.. everything that got sprayed.. died, and went to the landfill. I had a mild heart attack, followed by a mini stoke that paralyzed me from the waist down, & affected my left arm & hand. After 6 months of therapy, I was able to return to a more normal life. I regained the use of my legs and my left side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garrettgreg (talk • contribs) 13:58, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
