Rookie from Portland, OR :)
Hi there! I am new to the wonderful and beautiful world of Orchids (if my name didn't already give that away). I have never had much of a green thumb or even attempted to grow anything but this past mothers day I purchased a Phal from a grocery store in memory of my mom. She passed away two years ago and LOVED orchids so I felt it was an appropriate purchase. I did a bit of research online about their care instructions and like many others out there learned that you can keep them and (hopefully) get them to re-bloom. I have since purchased three more Phals and just ordered an Oncidium from an Orchid vendor on Amazon. I am planning on mounting the Oncidium since I read that they are one of the easiest species to mount for a first timer, and because it is a very beautiful and natural way to grow them. I am also interested in making a terrarium out of an old ten gallon hexagon fish thank that I have sitting around. Anyway, during all my online research this was the forum that always had the most helpful information and thought that if I really plan on making this a life long hobby I should join!! I look forward to gaining lots of knowledge from everyone, and hopefully one day I will be educated enough to share my knowledge with others!! It's great to be here and meet everyone!! Thanks!!

 Welcome Rookie,
I'm sure you'll gain lots of knowledge from this board as well as all the many other great orchid resources on line, such as the AOS, ect. You probably won't remain a rookie for long 
So, we're happy to have you with us and don't forget, the only silly questions are the unasked ones. 
Cheers,
Tony
