hello

[dave b]

Ive been here several times, and thought id better make it official. Been growing about 2 years. Been collecting a bit of everything as i go along. Really like Angraecoids and im slowly working on an aerangis collection. Phrags are another favorite. I grow indoors during the winter and put most things outside during the summer.

Aboard, it's great that you have joined in our fun, friendly and knowledgeable community. Sounds like you have a great collection started. The OB has a gallery where you can share your s with other members. Glad your here

Hi Dave...here's an official Orchidboard

I love aerangis, they're one of my favorites. Then again, I have lots of favorites! I can't seem to pick just one...or six!!!

Where are you located? We'd love to see some pics If you need any help, just let us know

Welcome to the Orchid Board! Have you had much success with the Angraecoids? I only have two, and am getting worried I will never get them to bloom.

Thanks.

Im in dayton, ohio. Ive got a collection of pics from stuff that has bloomed, and a few in bloom now (no aerangis though). Ill have to get going on the photo thing. i havent yet read up on how you prefer pics to be posted on this forum. Ive done a few on another slipper based forum using links to photobucket.

They seem to be growing just fine, still waiting on a bloom though . Several were very young when i got them:

Angraecum sesquipedale
Aerangis fastuosa
Aerangis mystacidii
Mystacidium brayboniae - appears to be sending a spike , though only about 2-3 mm in length. The plant itself is no bigger than a quater!

A friend was kind enough to shop for me while they were at Oak Hill in Chicago last week. I should be adding:

Aerangis modesta
Aerangis biloba
Aerangis hybrid (distincta x biloba)

Im so addicted to these things. Worse things to be addicted to in this world though.

Hi again Dave,

The first 3 threads in this link should address any photo questions
