HI everyone,
I'm new to the forum and just wanted to say hello.
I've been trying my hand at orchid growing for about 3 years. I have about 100 orchids stationed at various sunny windows through out my home. I've been able to encourage some orchid reblooms, maintain some green ,and kill some while trying to provide my babies with the very best growing environment I can.

Looking forward to learning a lot here and perhaps being able to offer some help to others.

It seems you have more than tried your hand. I think by now you know your hand is very good at orchids

Congrats. Welcome to the Orchid Board!

Thanks for your warm welcome everyone.

I have a variety of cattleya, dens, phals, a cymbidium, paphs. oncidiums, phrags, vanda, asocenda, brassia, miltonias, neofineta falcata, one psychopsis ,masdevallia, maxallaria tenuifolia, zygopetaulum. All of them in various stages of success, hanging in there, or just getting by.... I'm very much looking forward to the New York International Orchid show April 18th - 22. Hoping to get something very special to add to my collection.
