Hello from Vancouver

[LIBRRIAN]

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a retired librarian and have been growing orchids in my north-facing apartment for about 10 years. It started as a Mother's Day orchid and now my collection is comprised of over 40 plants. Have a look at my profile for a list.

I have long ago reached the point where I need to acknowledge that orchids have become nearly an obsession. I love them, particularly the fragrant ones, and I can't resist buying them when I attend orchid shows. I even adopt "throwaway orchids", when my friends threaten to toss them for not blooming.

I look forward to learning a great deal here and maybe making some contacts, too.
