Hello from NJ! - Orchid Board

Well, I've been looking for a good orchid forum, since I've gotten back into it. I currently only grow miniatures, and only have about 20 or so right now. But hopefully I'll be able to get some additional advice, and maybe even give a few ideas, too.

I'll post a few pictures of what I have in the forums and stuff, let me know what you think, and suggestions are always needed to improve!

Hello Anthony,
My name is Paul and I also live in NJ. I've purchased most of my orchids from Parkside in Ottsville PA. I've also purchased one with is in the photo from Neptune NJ called Silva's. Would like to see more photo of your collection and how you are set up. I'm just learning myself and have had some orchids for about 5 years now. Hope all grows well, Paul.

Thanks everyone. I currently have a thread going in the "Growing Under Glass" forum, about my 75 gallon orchidarium. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Nice...where in NJ? I'm in Edison. I've wanted to go to Silva's, especially since I used to live down the road from it, but never actually went. I assumed they probably wouldn't have many miniatures. Maybe one of these days. There's also a little place right here in Edison that has some great Vandas, Phals, and a few others, and apparently they get miniatures when the flower shows start coming around. The only place I've gone so far specifically for orchids is J&L Orchids in Easton, CT. It's a little drive, but I've gotten my best stuff there.
