Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner enthusiast in England and recently got the bug for orchids in a big way!
My growing area is in front of a big window in a bedroom, I have cool and intermediate orchids most of which are seedlings and young plants. My largest and oldest is a Phal I have had for just over 14 years and it has only flowered sporadically - I admit to neglecting it

but now I know better so fingers crossed for a spike or two soon!)

Good luck getting those spikes, you'll find loads of info on here x

Hello yes been lurking for a while and finally made a post then thought I better introduce myself - bit of a topsy turvy way of doing it!

Ah yes, it was Pelepel's post about what got us started. One of my best friends lives in Hampshire

it's a nice part of the world, but a bit of a long haul from up here in Essex!

Welcome to Orchid Board

If you're in Hampshire you should perhaps think about going to the RHS London Orchid Show in March. Must admit I've not been before but am planning on going this year.

Here's their website incase you're interested.
