Hi there and new here... Female
Default Hi there and new here...

Becky here, residing in NoVa - I am originally from Norway and my mother was a plantaholic, so I inherited the gene - newbie to both this board and orchids - serious case of OCD when it comes to plants - so what is another obsession...ahem, passion for (is what I like to call it) - I am blessed with enabling friends and a hubby who understands the passion - what more can a gal want? I started with C&S, and that lasted for a while, then I directed my madn...ahem, passion towards Hoyas, hubby hated them - didn't like the tiny gnats - so I rehomed them to good homes and went onto Caudiciforms and Fatplants - with a vengeance...theeeeen, my enabling bestest buddy got me ga-ga over fragrant tropicals, vines, gardenias, jasmines, oh the list goes on...and my fatplants and tropicals have lived fairly happily side-by-side - but, now it's time for the fatplants to go to new homes - I have discovered orchids (well, I knew about them, just managed to steer away when I saw them - until my bestest enabling buddy made me aware they are fragrant - I was a gonner) - so after researching and reading I am ready for "the plunge" - I was gifted a Lc. Angel Love x skinneri - which at the moment is living in the windowsill - once the fatplants find new homes (at least most of them) I will start adapting a 3 tiered light rack for better growing conditions for orchids - for the moment I am just reading and learning, I am sure the questions will come and I'll come screaming for help...Bec

Becky!!
From your description, it sounds like you are going to fit right in with the rest of us! Watch out, one orchid is just the beginning, as most people here can tell you. Next thing you know you'll have a hundred of them filling your house!

Where in Northern VA are you? I'm originally from Reston/Herndon
