Hullo! Male
Default Hullo!

After lurking for a while, I finally decided to join this forum.

I've been keeping orchids for the better part of 28 years, but do not consider myself an expert by a long shot...so I beg forgiveness in advance for any dumbness.

Currently, I have about twenty orchids: 4 NOID phals, 5 dendrobiums, and 11 catts, and 3 spiranthes I need to get planted in spring. I live in North Carolina.

My favorite genera to keep are: Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, and Vandas. (But I appreciate most others.)
My hobbies: Birding, Astronomy, Photography, Music.

I'm right-brained, so if I seem odd, chalk it up to that!
Guess I can't think of too much else to add aside from "Hi!"

Welcome to the Board! And remember, there are NO dumb questions (except those that aren't asked). So please ask! Lots of people, with years of collective experience growing under a wide range of conditions, love to "talk orchids" and share their experiences.

LOL. I know there are no dumb questions!! When I first started keeping orchids, I'm pretty sure I drove the owner of an orchid nursery nuts with questions, but she graciously answered them.
I don't know what happened to that nursery, but Sandra, if you're out there somewhere, many thanks!!

Welcome! I'm sure most orchid enthusiast will happily dabble with any conversation about orchid. It's hard to find anyone to talk about orchid because it's all about tropical houseplants nowaday.
