Hi, my name is Corey, and I'm an orchidholic.

Several years ago I started my foray into horticulture with carnivorous plants. I was actually perusing the aisles at Lowe's for flytraps and pitcher plants when I saw a few desperate little phals on the clearance rack. Since the store lacked any CPs, I bought the orchids. The addication thus began.

Flash forward two months to now, and I have 11 orchids in my burgeoning collection: 2 cattleyas, 1 epicattleya, 1 dendrobium, and 7 phals. Several of the phals were in poor shape when I got them, as stated above, but they are all doing really well now!

Anywho, I'm from Missouri, and look forward to learning a lot and getting to know you all. Thanks in advance, by the way.

I'm excited!

Fellow Missourians! I'm from southeast Missouri, between Sikeston and Poplar Bluff, FWIW.

You folks are going to have to let me know if we ever have any orchid shows within driving distance... I would love to go to one!

Welcome aboard!! This addiction only gets worse. There is no cure or 12 step program. Just buy more orchids and you will be fine.
