Just Getting Started Again

[Randy S]

Hi All,

I got my first orchid back in 1968 when I was fourteen. I had fallen in love with the beauty of a Cattleya that I had seen. It came in the sheath and bloomed not long after I recieved it. I tried to get it to bloom again but to no avail! After a couple of years of no bloom I lost interest and didn't have any orchids for about fourty years. A year or so ago I got a Dendrobium in bloom from Costco. After If finished blooming we put it by the window and let it grow. I leaned over and grew benind the chest so I didn't notice the flowers until we were outside and looked over towards the window and to our amazement LOTS OF BLOOMS!! Well that got me hooked again so I have begun to acquire some plants and will see if things go better this time. At least the support system is much better than it was fourty years ago!

I'm glad to be onboard!
