New to Orchids, New Here

[boxerfan]

Hi all, I'm Lisa from Columbia, SC USA and I just started with Orchids in early April, 2007. Since then I have collected 13. I have 9 Phals., 2 Paphs., a Brs., and a Brsdm. Overall, my Phals. are doing quite well; I have 4 growing new leaves at present and one preparing to bloom a second time off of it's original spike. I just received my Paphs, Brs., and brsdm. last week for my birthday. A friend took me on a day trip to the Carter & Holmes nursery and my family contributed to my bank acct. so I could pick out several new additions. In addition to my Orchids, my interests are reading, antiquing and my dogs, Cooper, a Boxer and Riis, a Boykin Spaniel. I look forward to meeting new people and learning a lot. Lisa
