Is anyone actually my age?
The younger, the better. At my age I don't care to buy seedling plants, they take too long to mature. Seedlings are cheaper, you can buy lots and learn as they grow.
I don't feel I have the time or energy to do that.

I've never told anyone, because nobody really asked, but i am 15. ive been growing orchids for a year-and-a-half though.
glad i started younger though
that may explain some of my earlier insecurities about my growing abilities though. but im confident in my abilities now
EDITED- to add content

What difference does age make? We are all here because of our appreciation of the orchid. We all have something to learn and something to teach, and that means you to. Welcome, ask and enjoy!

Welcome to OB. How wonderful it is that you grow orchids in your heart since this young age. I'm late 20 and I'm still a baby in the OB! So don't worry. Let's learn and help each other. |

The late Mary McQuerry talked about a 97 year old friend who was still buying flasks and planned to see them bloom. Oh! to be young and filled with love of this hobby. Its a joy to know that young ones are coming along. You are not only welcome to join but I for one hope you bring many of your young friends.

Friends...
Don't feel too bad. I'm 32 and none of my friends appreciate my hobby. They're more inclined to laugh. And then ask my advice on keeping their plants alive.
Meanwhile, we have a whole board full of friends right here. ; )

I sure hope your thumb is at least green! Like said previously, age doesn't matter here! Welcome to our family! |
