Hello from Michigan
Just saying Hello, I stumbled into Orchids recently by accident. Im into tropical Nepenthes (carnivorous pitcher plants) and found out the Orchids make a nice companion and add diversity to my tanks. I went to Littlefrog Farms here in Michigan and couldnt believe how many varities of Orchids there are. I found out about the minature orchids grown on sticks and small slabs, I can use suction cups and hang them all over my nepenthes terriums. I introduced myself (private messaged)to Ross, since he is into the Mini's and also live's in Michigan. This is a great forum, A lot to learn here !

Hi and welcome
You met Rob from Littlefrog? Nice guy, right?
I have a number of his plants
Funny, I always think of Pitcher Plants being companions to Orchids...not the other way around
If you need help with anything, let us know

Hi Dan,
Welcome! I'm glad for your accident...orchids!
I'm sure that you'll enjoy yourself here at the OB. I would love to see some pics of your Nepenthes, even though they aren't chids. Of course pics of your chids would be nice too.
