Hi everyone
I just joined after a couple of years of lurking(not in a bad way lol).I’m not very savvy about boards and forums so I may make mistakes from time to time.
I got my first orchid as a gift(don’t we all ?)which started me down this road I now have around 50 which I grow in my house.I live in Abbotsford Bc.Since Covid it has become increasingly difficult to find many growers in Bc(retail) some have shut down.And also the one society close to me doesn’t seem to be operating anymore.So I have no one to bounce questions off of ,hence I joined this board as it has been a wealth of info.And I felt it was about time !
Thanks for listening to my book and happy to be here.

Welcome to the Orchid Board! You've come to the right place for questions-and-answers, and a good dose of fellowship among orchid lovers.

Welcome!

Try contacting anybody you can find from the local society. You might be the catalyst to starting it again.

And San Francisco Orchid Society also has hybrid meetings - I enjoy them on Zoom, I'm 400 miles/645 km away, no problem.
