Hello everyone!


I live in the state of Maine and have started getting into orchids. I've never had them before and I'm surprised at how many there are in the world. I found it kinda funny that the price of these plants could vary so much. A gardening place charged me $37 for my Phalaenopsis, and I bought a Cattleya last night from a different place for $14! I do have some questions about growing these beautiful plants, but I'll begin another thread for that.

Looking forward to talking to all of you!

welcome to the board, my friend! nice to meet another orchid grower in new england. i'm located on the south shore of massachusetts. the price for these plants does tend to vary, but after a while you end up finding great deals & making friends to trade with. welcome to ob -- it's the only website i go to nowadays.

Hello Roamingnome from another Mainer! I see you are in the southern part of the State.....5b I believe would be Augusta south......not sure. Anyway, I'm in 4a and it is a challenge to grow these beauties here. (55F this a.m.)

You do have to shop around a bit to find the best buys. Sad to say there are very few orchid people/vendors in the State. You'll end up at the big box stores a lot! LOL
You have found the best Orchid Board on the net so jump on in. We're glad to have you.
