I'm new too!
So new that I can see how to reply to you, but can't see how to make a new post! (This is also my FIRST try at a message board).
My sister-in-law gave me a Bllra "Golden Gate" that she bought for cheap because it needs re-potting and I'm supposedly "good at that sort of thing." So while you are getting the luxury of researching your orchid career, I'm jumping in with both feet and eyes wide shut!
The plant came with one blooming spike and another on the way. The second is now in bloom. Not quite a luxuriously as the first ... the blooms are smaller and very close together.
I'm here to research light, water, and "soil" (I see that mounting is an option, but not necessarily for beginners) needs for my new "baby."
Good luck to you and happy travels.

Thanks for the navigation info. I even printed it out for reference!
BTW (I learned about that on TV!) Houw did you get all those flowers next to your "name"? I read about the blooming FS, but so many others ... it's impressive!

The "regular" flowers are a way of showing how many milestones a member has hit...and I seem to spend a LOT of time here! Look at the number of posts I have...
