New to the OB from Jacksonville, Alabama - Orchid Board

zygostates · #1 08-14-2008, 12:23 AM

Hello Everyone!
I registered on OB a while back, but have not had the time to start posting. I am from Jacksonville,Alabama and I have been growing orchids since the early 1990's. I grow predominately Phalaenopsis,Paphiopedilums, and mini Cats. I grow under lights in a bedroom and space is always a premium...so I love mini-orchid anything. I belong to a wonderful orchid society in Anniston,Al--The Northeast Alabama Orchid Society (NEAOS). We meet in the auditorium of the Anniston Museum of Natural History every 2nd Sunday of each month at 2:30 pm. I am really looking forward to learning from everyone from this forum. If there is one thing I have learned from orchid growers/hobbists, its this; if you grow orchids you will find out new things about them from experienced growers and sometimes from enthusiastic new growers trying new things.
Take care!
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
Welcome to Orchid Board...glad you came onboard! I'm from Cullman, Alabama...it's good to meet you. By the way, I really like Jacksonville...a very nice town. I've only been there a few times...mostly when I was in the band back in high school...a million years ago. One of our band directors at the time was the drum major at Jacksonville just before his first director position at my old Alma Mater. By the way, I'm a newbie at growing orchids and I look forward to picking up some tips from you. Everyone has been very helpful.
Vicki
