Hello from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania!

Hi everyone!
I've loved and admired orchids for years but never worked up the courage to purchase one (I was "sure" they were far "too difficult" for me).

Well, last year my wife was gifted a mini phal, and it broke the floodgates. We now have 4 phals (1 mini NOID, 2 flower shop NOIDs, 1 sogo x yenlin "coffee" varigata). I've got a laundry list of other orchids I would like to add to my collection - I'm currently pursuing phalaenopsis orchids with interesting foliage.

I'm excited to learn more about the orchid fancy! I'm also curious to expand beyond phalaenopsis (once I've gotten my "list" phals in my collection), so any tips on "next steps" would be appreciated.
