I live in Germany, not very far from Borken in NRW and I just got my first orchid for my birthday... So I bought another one...

I've heard there's no cure for it...

Welcome to Orchid Board COrwin and you are right there is no cure for this mystery ailment the only thing that eases it is to buy more orchids! I hope you enjoy your time here as much as I do. People are so willing to help you and give advice.

Sorry, Corwin. Once the bug bites, you're a goner. Just like the rest of us. Have fun.

there's no escape now

what kind of orchids do you have?

Corwin · #6 04-09-2009, 02:34 PM

Well I have a Dendrobium and a Phalaenopsis... that's all there was on the sticker...

I'm going to ask in the ID forum

(I did look on the net and have a fair idea of what those two have to say but I do want to be sure)

Welcome to Orchid Board Corwin,

My first orchids were Dens and Phals as well. Unfortunately there are so many hybrids of both of them it can be imposible to find any more information about what they are.

Don't worry though, we call them NOID for No ID and they are just as beautiful as the ones which do have a name. Most of mine are NOID and I love them just as much as the named ones. Many people make up names for them, but I've never bothered.

I'm sure you'll learn loads here at Orchid Board, I know I have in the last few months, and every one here is really friendly and helpful.
