Hi everyone, I'm Rosie.

I was given a Phal by my Mum for my Birthday in 2006 and while I thought it looked like an orchid the label said Phalenopsis, so I thought I was wrong and it was NOT an Orchid

Several months later my Mum confirmed it was and Orchid and showed me that there are several types (she showed me a cym and said that was also an orchid).

This time last year I bought 2 more NOID Phals because I was so pleased I had managed to rebloom the first one several times but at the same time I repotted the first and got some bad advice, which unforunately put it into the ICU (where it still is)

But as usual there was a bright side to this failure, I searched the web for help and came here... and you guys got me really interested in 'chids. I finally realised where the name Phalenopsis came in to the scheme of things and realised just how diverse the orchid family is.

I bought a Den in the summer and a Paph this spring and I have my eye on several more and plan to at least double my small collection this year if not even more. I have some Birthday money to spend which I've already allocated to go on new 'chids

Way to go, Rosie, you'll soon be in double figures and throwing out "ordinary"plants in all your growing spaces to make room

Regards

Yeah, I've already been looking at the "ordinary" plants and the space they take up and thinking hmm...

My name's Kaori,

I'm pretty new to orchids, but I've been into plants for a long time. Even before I got into orchids, people would comment on how many plants I have in my room.

I'm in school in Colorado, where I have half of our window sill plus some space behind my desk covered in plants.

I spend the rest of my year in New Orleans where most of my orchids get to hang out outside.

As for what I grow, I've got a few NOID oncidiums, catts, and phals that I've picked up from discount racks, plus a few micros that I ordered online from Andy's. I've also got a couple small dendrobiums and a brassavola nodosa that I picked up about a month ago with five spikes on it... Still waiting on those to open up!

Hi, my name is Aria and I am growing a Lepanthes Telipogoniflora in my shower (my plant is weird and likes living in my shower). It has grown a lot since I got it on Dec. 30, 2016 (three spikes and at least five new leaves).

I haven't gotten a picture of it yet, unfortunately.
But it does have a bud that will open soon.
