Newbie saying hello

[Shann]

everybody!

I am new to OB but not to orchids. I wanted to find a friendly community to join and have lurked around here in the past and finally decided to join in the group.

I mostly grow Encyclia and Catt types though I have quite a few others mixed in. I read some threads here recently on other members who grow Encyclias and that caught my attention.

I also enjoy photography and love taking pics of my orchids and hope to share those with you all as well.
