Hi there! I just got hit by the "orchid bug" and moved to Austin from Odessa (a "city" of about 100,000 in West Texas) two months or so ago. I've got a collection of three orchids that I got from large commercial operations and which I recently repotted from different media- some moss, one from I think coconut husks- to bark or bark/perlite/bits of moss mixes. I have no idea what they are, but I'll post the pics up and ask.

In the meantime,

and

to the Orchid Board. The orchid bug bit you and soon enough it will be full blown madness. Glad to have you around. Please if you have question, concerns, recommendation and or

please do let us know and post them on the board.

Oh, I tried to upload pics, but I'm not sure if it worked. This board either doesn't like Flickr, or I have to wait, or I haven't put the URL in correctly. I'm not sure. I did put the pics up in the identification help sub-forum, so I'll see if that will work.

And you are right about the bug being something that doesn't go away. I've had to be very careful about going to nurseries. Otherwise I know I'll come back out with at least one plant!

Welcome to Orchid Board

A lot of our folks use flickr so it should work. Take a look at the link in my signature about posting pics. There is a lot of info there about different ways to do it, but I use flickr as an example of how to post using a link to an external site hosting your photos.

Hello.

Hi Crazymonkie,

I've just seen your posts with the pictures. The problem is that you have posted a webpage as an image. This is the most common mistake when posting picks.

Take a look at my help thread about pictures. This link jumps straight to the part where I try and explain about this problem and what you need to do different. I use flickr as an example so hopefully it will make sense.
