Greetings...from a New Orchid Addict

[Pete]

Hello All,

My name is Pete and I live in Philadelphia,PA. I have recently taken a fancy to Orchids and think that I am already addicted. The past several weekends have been spent researching the various types of orchids and determining what genus will work best for my windowsill culture.

I have concluded that I will initially grow phal hybrids and species. I have a very large East facing bay window that from what I understand is "ideal" for growing Phals. Only yesterday, I ordered a Baldan's Kalidescope "Golden Treasure" from Norman's Orchids and a Phal Violacea var. coerulea from Kawamoto (E-Bay). Those two are going to be my first introduction to the Phals.


Well, I'm sure that I will have a million questions for you good folks so please bear with this newbie.

Best,

Pete
