New from NY
Hi! I'm new to this forum, but have been growing orchids for a couple of years. I have about 80. Small house or I would have more!  I have a cross-section of chids. Catts, Dens Milts, Zygo, Paphs, Phrags, Tolumnias, Neo's etc....
Good to meet you all!  |

Albany- It's about 3 hr. drive north of NY city for those who don't know NY state. This time of year isn't too bad for orchids, but the winter is really a challenge keeping the humidity up!

It's sooo good to find more orchid addicts from NY!! I've visited several orchid forums, but the OB is definitely the best!  |

Hi Dorothy....I've read many of your wonderful posts in the short time since I joined this great site!...just "heard mention" you're from Long Island!...I spent my formative years there!...well, the first 33 anyway...where are you from on LI? I lived in Hewlett-Cedarhurst in Nassau Cnty as a youngster; Huntington Sta and West Islip in Suffolk as an "adult"...so glad to meet you (aren't you one of the very special expert - guru's of orchids here at the Board?) Eileen

Hi Eileen -
It's very nice meeting you, too
I am in the New Hyde Park region of Nassau County close to the Queens border. I am somewhat familiar with Huntington Sta, not so much with Hewlett-Cedarhurst or West Islip ...
I wouldn't consider myself an expert or guru at all .. as orchids are a continual learning .. I consider myself a perpetual beginner .. 
but I thank you for the compliment |
