I'm Tony F from St Pete FL. I just got started with orchids. I've got a long way to go and a lot to learn. What a great web site! Any suggestions on the orchids are welcome.

Welcome to the Orchid Board! Glad you could join. It looks like you got some nice orchids already. I especially like the one with the big fat round bulbs in the second picture, what is that a bulbophylum?

At this point all I can tell you is what is on the label I will get better with time for the name.(Epidendrums cordigerum) that what I get from the book and label.

Hi I set the plants outside to take the pics.It has been cold and windy but as soon as it warms up in two or three weeks I would like to grow Orchids in and out.At that time Iwill need lots of advice and be asking plenty of questions.The tall orchid I have had for almost a year.I separated it in to two plants that when this all started.Will the stems four to five in each grow flowers.Or do I have to cut them or do something else.
