Hello To All Orchidians

    I've been following with great interest the various threads here and
    am curious to know what you folks, who are professionals, think of
    learning through books and experimenting compared to formal training
    where you learn from a master and obtain a degree. How much of what
    you are now came from classes, seminars etc. and how much from
    learning as you go and just trying things out? 

    I am not in a position at the moment to be able to take advantage of
    classroom training and am learning all I can from books and also
    from things picked up in this most excellent forum. One day I do hope
    to be able to take classes..when I retire from my necessary day job.
