Hello from Boston

Hi everyone,

I want to thank you for such great community with a wonderful wealth of knowledge. I recently was bitten by the orchid bug: my dad received a huge, gorgeous double-stemmed white Phal with 10 buds on each spike while he was in the hospital this past June.

Unfortunately, it met with an early demise due to overwatering. I've learned here how to avoid that as well as the steps I tried to do to save it. I cried because I couldn't.

Anyway, the house is now populated with 12 Phals (10 in bloom) with the 13th in transit.

Thanks again, and I look forward to life-long learning here.
