Hello everyone!!
Hi everyone,
I am fairly new here. I have been growing orchids for several years now. About 6-7, just starting to be a little more successful. I mostly grow vandas, angraecums, paphs, a couple of phrags, and dendrobiums. I have around 100 orchids at different stages of growth. Although, I still consider myself a beginner. I am sure I have killed my share of orchids(and someone else's).  I am hoping to eradicate some of these problems by posting here!!

Nice pics Ross!! I don't have anything in bloom currently that is worth taking a pic of it. Funny story, I bought a dideri mounted on a stick in the late winter, hung in on one of my vandas and took it out to water it. A few days later realized it was gone!! I guess a bird took it to make a nest???
Have quite a few stories like this of killing orchids over the years. LOL!!

Yes, Dorothy, I have just recently started going into the chatroom. I really like it there.
I am glad to hear I am not the only one that has sneaky birds Royal.
