I'm a British expat living in Malaysia and as orchids are so prevalent and cheap over here, I decided to do some research before I buy some more of these beautiful plants!
Welcome the the OB - short of having your own personal horticulturist following you around whispering in your ear, I can't think of a better resource for someone looking to do some orchid research. It's a great group with very active and knowledgeable participants. Don't feel shy asking questions and I second the call for pics - please do share once you take the plunge.
Welcome to Orchid Board! You should have a lot of fun growing orchids there since the conditions are great for so many orchids! This is certainly the place to learn about what would thrive in that are however.
