Hello from Lubbock, Texas

[jmacmanus]

Hi,

I am brand new to the forum and already I have learned something new. Weng said about paphs "As these little plantlets mature, the mother plant will start to die." Oh my, I needed to know that so that I didn't start to grieve...

I am not new to orchids but have not been growing them for several years because of several moves that my family made - one to California - where they wouldn't let live plants cross their borders

But now, I have retired, bought a new home with a large sunroom and am restarting my passion of orchid growing.

I look forward to getting to know everyone, exchanging experiences and pictures.

you can creat a rain forest inside you living room with a water fall and a pond .To give orchids right conditions.Have to
supply with plenty of water and shades for orchids . they bloom for you.

Hi, Thakshila,

I have a pond and a waterfall in my sunroom. Looks like I have all the ingredients I need. Thanks.
