Hello from West Virginia

[martinvermillion]

Hello Everyone,
I have been around for some time but haven't had the time to talk with everybody. My favorite orchids are the leafless species. I have some "ghost" and a few other strange species. Chilochista's are also around but I really like the Dendrophylax species! They are alot of fun to "attempt" to grow and once in a while bloom. I have found sometimes it is as easy as it sounds! I have probably killed as many or more than I have kept alive but have taught myself how to replate and a bunch of other stuff that most people will never even think about in a lifetime. Me as a genuine plant nut think us orchid growers are blessed to learn how the planet really works. Someday I hope pass this to the next generation. Anyway this is what I like how about everyone else?-MartinV.

Hi Martin and welcome to Orchid Board

It seems your post got missed somehow at the start of this month. So better late than never I thought I would welcome you.

I love seeing the pics of the Ghost in the wild. If you haven't seen them already take a look at our 'Orchids in the Wild' forum, there are some fantastic pics in there.

Me too Martin - sorry to have missed your post earlier. I want to welcome you now and hope you find this place interesting enough to hang around. I'd love to see pictures when you can.

Hello Martin and welcome to OB!

I would love to see some pics of how your growing your Ghosts. I have been interested in them for a while, but haven't gotten the courage to give them a try yet.
