Greetings from yet another Newbie

[Bobbi Jo]

Thank You for the blooming welcome

I really would like to get a couple of pictures up before they decide that enough is to much...lol
My larger Phal: has lost 3 flowers since it started blooming, but that was around Christmas time, and it still is setting blooms? They are all on one stalk, but that one stalk has 3 branches on it, all in bloom.

[ I have been reading on the forum and I think I discovered my larger Plah:s identity might be a Dtps. Champion Lightning "Splash" or possibly a Phal: Minhos Princess 'Watercolor Artist' but I haven't seen one of the latter? ]

I live in NW Oregon in a small town 30+ miles north of Portland Or. ( St. Helens ) not the mountian, but we are within sight of it, 40 miles as the crow flies, across the Columbia River in Washington State. St. Helens borders the river and we live 1 mile inland. For some reason I can't add a US flag ?

Welcome to the orchid board Bobbi Jo! There is a lot of information on the board/forum. I have been here for about a year and a half and still haven't looked at all of it, and there is more comming in everyday!!! Everybody is very friendly and would be more than happy to answer even the smallest questions. Although, it is also a lot of fun to look at other peoples success and get ideas on how to expand you collection of "chids". I guess that is your first piece of orchid board jargon!!! Enjoy!
