Hello from San Antonio, Texas
Hi, I am new to this board and fairly new to the whole forum thing. I recently joined one other orchid forum and I have already learned a lot from this and the other forum just reading the posts.
I am not completely new to orchids. I have had Phals for 20+ years and have acquired some others along the way. I just recently decided that I wanted to know more about caring for the different kinds of orchids and expand my collection. I was just it time too! It seems my husband has gotten the "orchid bug"  and is adding orchids faster than I can read about them. Lashelle |

Wow! Thanks for the warm welcome. Question for those of you in my neck of the woods, where do you go to get your orchids? Lashelle

There is an orchid shop in San Antonio called Xanadu Orchids, but I have never been there. Have you? I'll probably check it out sometime. I haven't been motivated to go there because I was told that they have little or nothing to see in Cattleyas; that they specialize in Dendrobiums or something else.
I've dealt with seven or eight online vendors and a few Ebay sellers. One thing I like about Ebay is that you can sometimes find orchids there that are difficult to locate elsewhere.
