Hello from NC:-) Female
Default Hello from NC:-)
I was so happy to find this site! My "addiction" started about 9 months ago with one orchid; I now have 27! I have been having a great time researching and learning about all of the different types of orchids, but the only time I can really talk about my orchids is when I go to the greenhouse. No one else seems that interested, but luckily I have a great hubby who listen (or pretends to listen ) when I am talking about my orchids and the plans for our future greenhouse.

Welcome Nikkik

You are in good company here. I started slowly, but in the last year I went from 4 to 34. This board and the people here got me really addicted.

My hubby either listens or pretends to listen as well. Otherwise people just think I'm mad. There is a friend at work who will listen as well, but he laughs loudly whenever I say I've bought a new one. And most mondays asks my hubby (we work together) if I have bought any more. He thought it hilarious last week when I said I had bought a 6'x6' green house to house more orchids.

You'll find a lot of people here who understand the addiction

Welcome Nikkik- I went from 0 to 41 in just under a year. It is addictive, but so much better than any other addiction I can think of

Hi nikkik, I'm from Wingate just south of Charlotte. Come over anytime to visit. If you haven't been to Orchid Trail you need to go.

Wingate ? Winston-Salem ?? I see the makings of a spring time road trip

My wife has a medical conf in Chapel Hill in March. While she is captive in a conference room, I plan on another visit to the Orchid Trail
