I've been reading this board on and off for a few months but only just joined. I'm a total orchid newbie but I'm a compulsive researcher so I figure I'll learn quickly. I live in Miami so all of my plants are outside.
Right now I've got two healthy phalaenopses and three healthy vandas in bloom (although one is showing signs of wear) and I'm desperately working with a cataleya, but it's a new experience for me so I'm on shakey ground.

Aside from Dave, we have quite a population of members from Florida as your weather is ideal for growing many kinds of orchids ..
Glad you have joined us here at the OB
Enjoy !
