My first time...

Hello everyone, I just found this Form today.
I'm a struggling amateur grower who would like to learn more and be more successful. It's hard to come by specific information and answers sometimes so I hope this is the place.

Welcome! Your'e gonna love it here. What I did when I got my first orchid is went back and read ALL the old posts. Took days cause there were several forums. But theres a wealth of information here and you can never have to much of that. I think it really helped me get a better understanding faster. Good Luck, Gladys

Hello again.
I have a varied collection of Vandas, cattleyas, phalaenopsis, and dendrobiums.
I grow them in a screened in pool enclosure with a covered porch attached.
I'm not much on common names of the orchids, but I'll try to learn.
Here is what is currently in bloom.

Aboard Angryfish....it's great that you hav found the OB and a huge amount of information awaits you from newbies and their experiences to our veteran's who love to share the knowledge it takes to grow these lovely orchids.

From Casselberry, not far from Orl, centrally. The Central Florida Orchid Society has a group (Cultural Study) that gets together once a month on the first Thursday where beginners and experienced growers alike meet to learn how to grow orchids. Come join in as a guest or member a fun group.

We all have struggled many times during our orchid growing it's how we learn and gain the confidence that keeps the wallet empty and the shelves full
