My name is Verna S. I guess you would call me a "mostly" novice orchid owner. A few years back I purchased my 1st orchid. It was a Zygopetalum Advance Australia. It bloomed for me every year. Even after separating it into 2, the both bloomed for me. Then everything went south and I didn't know how to save them. I didn't buy another orchid until last year. I purchased 4 seedlings, a "Mystic Maze", a "Cocheanthes discolor", "Oncidium Speckled Spire Snowflake" and a "Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft'". All are still alive and still small but are now showing new root and leaf growth. Since then, I purchased 10 more orchids! They range from Vandas to Oncidiums to Dendrobiums. I honestly don't know why I chose different species of orchids. They are all doing well. My "Sharry Baby has even given me 2 spikes so far and my Den. Microchip is blooming and blooming! I do regret buying one of the new orchids. It's my Dove Orchid. I didn't do enough research on her and I'm not do sure she'll survive, but I'll post on that another day. Thank you for reading my very 1st post! 😊
