Hi from Sydney Australia

[ipv6ready]

Been lurking here for a few months now, learning a lot and loving it.

I just have to say...WoW what a great forum, like Blondie brought up in different thread interactivity and friendliness makes for a great hook to a new hobby.

I got started when I bought three great big terracotta pots on ebay, the pix have plants in it and I asked the seller to remove them! To my dismay when I went to pick it up it still had unwanted cyms in it, the seller told me that it has about 10 flower spikes starting so I should wait to see them bloom in a few months then throw it out.

Well I saw it bloom and then I went crazy and bought anything orchid and now only ten months into this new hobby or madness I now have over 80 orchids.

Hoping there are few more Aussies on this forum to trade some of my excess plants (don't want anymore) in May markets hehe.

All my Oncidium are to go to make room for more miniature Cyms, Yamamotto Nobiles and nice variegated phals.

Well thank you and looking forward to learning more and getting to know other members better
