Thumbs up Hi!

I don't usually do this but what the heck. I live in San Leon, TX. Don't bother looking it's not even on the map. It's Galveston County, between Kemah and Galveston Island. I love gardening and have done so for years. Last year I had to let things go because DH had a little bout with cancer. we are starting to get out and about again and the yard just looks terrible after a year of neglect. So I made a decision to grow less Things that have to be matained in the yard in tjhe hot sun. Going with tropicals and things that can live without a lot of attention and yard work in our sun. But then I HAVE to have something to baby,so i started looking at orchids in July and I am already an addict.They are so awesome. I have 3 phals plus one with a keikei that had an accident.Think I'm gonna lose both 4 cattleyas, 2 dens phal type,4 oncidium intergenerics,and a very young vanda that I don't have a clue what to do with. Learning is fun! I want more and now I want mounts! Gladys

Aboard Gladys, sounds like your totally addicted, its so much fun, best drink in the house. Its great to have you here and please ask away with questions and you will get an awesome round of members responding to your every need to make an orchid hobbist just want more. I myself have been into orchids just over a year with 50+ chids including 10 keiki's, always something to learn about and our minds will be like sponges soaking it all up. Please utilize the gallery, share your chids with all of us and enjoy...

Hi Gladys,
Years ago I lived in Seabrook which is fairly close to Kemah, and made several trips out to Galveston (past Texas City, (pee-you) to enjoy the surf on the coast. I'm sure it's changed a lot from the late 60's!
