hi everyone - newbie here!

Hi ya everyone,

I discovered this forum yesterday and it looks great - especially for an orchid amateur! I live in the UK and I have several orchids: 2 phals in bloom; 3 phals not in bloom - one with a new spike - woot! ; 2 cambrias; one (new) pansy orchid.

I actually don't know anyone else who collects orchids other than my dad, so it'd be great to be able to chat to you guys as well as pick your brains...

So hello I guess!

Rachel

p.s. Is there anyone else from the UK in the forum?

Hi Rachel, and Welcome You have definitely found the right place for info. And I do believe there are several folks from the UK here.
