Hello everyone! I'm happy to have found this site again. I registered several years ago, but never had time to participate. I'm retired, living with my husband, two dogs, 300 fish tanks (we breed and maintain rare species of freshwater tropical fish), and tons of plants. I've been keeping orchids for around 20 years, starting with Phals. Who knew that I would progress to keeping over a dozen different species. I currently am smitten with Stanhopea and I am experimenting with Coelogyne -I ve killed 2 species a few years ago.
Anywho, I live in SW Pennsylvania, USA. All of my house plants are moved out of doors each May and stay there until a threat of frost. It's not a very long growing season, but it's home.
I'm happy to be here and hope to post some pics of a few Catasetum that are in bud right now along with a Rhyncostylis "Pink" that's setting buds. I love plants!!!

Welcome back!

There are a lot of aquarists here as well. Eventually we'd love to hear about your fish. You might find posts in the Terrarium Gardening, Pet Depot and Off Topic - Totally forums, accessible from the left yellow menu, Forums.
