Default Just saying hello.

I'm new to orchids and forums also, so please excuse me if I commit any forum faux pas, or for any blinding ignorance I may demonstrate. Although this seems to be a fairly kind place, so I'm sure I'll get along OK. I have two phalaenopsis orchids I've recently acquired. One, my first, I found in the garbage can outside of a gas station roughly two months ago. It was in pretty bad shape, and still is, but I seem to be doing well bringing it back. I also have a new one I bought today from a garden shop down the street. I figured it would be a good idea to have a healthy mirror to judge my orphan by. I look forward to meeting and absorbing knowledge from you fine people, and will probably start firing off some questions in the coming days, but I'll save that for another post.

Welcome aboard, Dicky. Rescuing abandoned plants is a dangerous thing. Once you start, they just keep following you home. Next thing you know, they've taken over the whole house. Trust me on this, we've ALL gone through it. At least you're not alone here. Jump right in and have fun.

Dicky! Welcome to the OB! You're going to learn a lot and have fun doing it.
We all started with one (well most of us) so you are in good company. I guarantee you'll have more than two in no time.
Ask away, someone will gladly help you.
Good to have you aboard.
