Lurking isn't much fun...

But joining is!
I just found the site today, and as you can see, have wasted no time in joining up. I bought my first orchid probably going on 2 years ago. The fever quickly set in. The orchids were mini phals from a local grocery store. Yup, wonderful place to buy a healthy orchid... But, they were in alright. That combined with my other plant growing experience, allowed them to live. Upon realizing I could keep them alive, I began educating myself and buying more. I still browse the grocery store though, becuse their orchids are a steal and usually just need some TLC. They're usually suffering from over or under watering, but most manage to keep their spikes and bloom beautifully.

But... you just can't get a wide variety of fun, whacky, unusual, uniqu etc, orchids from the grocery store. This led me to ebay and local nurseries.

So enough about how I contracted orchid fever and a tidbit about me. I'm a Mommy to one daughter, wife to one husband (who knew?!?), US Army veteran, student, and overall fun person... at least I like to think so! I look forward to a long stay, and much new knowledge here.
