Question Is anyone actually my age?

Everyone I see on the forums are always over 20 or something. But just saying because I feel a bit like a sore thumb.

Welcome to OB!

There are a few around your age. And do not let your age make you feel bad. I was 10 when I started.

Well done and welcome! I wish I'd discovered orchids at 13! I'd have hundreds by now I am sure that you'll fit in here, because we are all learning and many of us, despite our age, have not been growing orchids very long. So ask as many questions as you like, and enjoy!

Don't worry Aonghus. You are quite young for an orchid collector, but that's great. It's wonderfull for people to get involved with orchids as young as possible. Orchid societies always want to encourage young members.

I know we have at least one member who is 16 (Mikeg) so you're not the only one under 20, and we welcome folks of any age.

I think you're one of the youngest (I think there were some 14-15 year olds once in a while), but on this forum age doesn't matter much! It also seems like orchids is a hobby that you get into, or at least really get serious about, at a bit of an older age. At your age I was interested in completely other things! Orchids came a bit later.

Welcome to the Orchid Board, Just think by the time you are our ages you'll know so much, you won't have to start off killing them at 65, I've tried to get my grandchildren interested but no go, I'd love to share the love of orchids with them. You keep at it.

I am 14 and I started when I was 10 with one Phal. and now I have over 40 orchids of all kinds. I have visited many greenhouses and the members at my local orchid society have been very generous giving me info and plants.

We're glad to have you no matter your age! This is a great place for you- and the rest of us!- to learn. I'm only 21, so I'm a bit of a "youngster" here as well, though not as much as you. Welcome!
