Hi from Canada!
Hi all! I'm new to orchids, started my collection in March/07 with three or four orchids and it's grown to 67 now. About half are paphiopedilums and phragmipediums.
I grow them on shelves in a south facing window on shelving that also has supplemental fluorescent lighting.
I'm looking forward to meeting you guys - looks like a great forum and a great opportunity to learn!
Joanne 
omg I love all the emoticons!  |

Welcome to the OB Joanne, glad you joined! Nice to have another Canadian (and Albertan) here.
This is the best orchid forum going and it has seen fantastic growth. There is a metric tonne of information within these pages!
Enjoy!

Indeed that's me....ended up with 30 participants on the order and a huge discount. Already had requests for another group order! Sure shows the popularity of the software.
Did you sign up for the Annual Maintenance plan?

Welcome Joanne. Glad you chose to join. We seem to be a force to recon with lately. I forget the numbers Marty has posted, but the board seems to spread across the world with active participants all over. We'd certainly love to see pictures when you get around to it - in fact, we love pictures! They are worth a thousand words |
