Welcome aboard, Jay. I was about your age when I was bitten. You've found the right place, we're all in this together. Jump right in, and have fun.

Hi Jay,

Welcome to the OB...and to the wonderful world of orchid addiction.

I'm sure you will have fun here, and I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your collection.

I was about 15 or 16 when I got my first orchid too. I had been bitten a year or two before that, but I couldn't persuade my parents to let me get one, since I had already converted our home into a greenhouse full of other plants Now I'm a freshman in college and I've done the same thing with my dorm room, but now with a few orchids thrown in the mix! I've only got 7 chids right now, but as soon as I have more space....
Enjoy the OB and WELCOME ABOARD!
