Hi, my name is talyce, I'm an orchid addict
Just registered...Thought I would say hello to all. I scammed my way into growing orchids when I got married. My husband and I got married in Key West at the Robert Frost Cottage, where there is an orchid garden out back. I was always fascinated with orchids, but never grew them. Now my husband is even into them. I consider myself lucky to have him involved.

Bonjour and welcome to the forum.
It's wonderful to see your other half involved 
My DH doesn't grow them but he does enjoy seeing them around the house, He has even brought some home.
It's all about orchids and power tools around here 
Hope you enjoy OB

Thanks to all! I started my collection 2 years ago. I've got your usual phals, a couple paphs, my husband's favorite vandas, cymbidiums, nuns, dancing ladies of all sorts, a brassivola, dendrobiums, and others I have no idea what they are. All are kept outside in the Florida weather, although the few cold fronts we get are almost as bad as prepping for a hurricane. I am no expert but I do ok...That is the reason I thought I'd join!
