Default Hello I'm new here
Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the orchid keeping world but have always had a love for orchids since I was a child. Recently I went to an Orchid Festival at Parkside Orchids: Directions to Parkside and picked up a few for relatives and myself, I can see how it becomes an obsession.

I have been mainly interested in freshwater aquatic plant keeping, aquascaping and shrimp but have developed a similar interest in orchids. Hope to learn a great deal from the board!

Thanks,

Julie

Hi Julie...welcome to Orchidboard

be careful...your "similar interest" will quickly become much more than that...it's unavoidable

A number of our OB members met each other at the Parkside Fest this past weekend. I wish I could've gone

If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Thank you so much I'm looking forward to learning from all the talented hobbyists on this board. The Parkside Festival was amazing so many species I've never seen in person before. I took tons of pictures!

Hello Julie,
Welcome to the OB. Everyone here will be happy to assist you in the start of your soon-to-be-new obsession. I assume that you didn't see the "orchid bug" that jumped on your back, at the festival! It's pretty sneaky. You can't get rid of it, now, your just going to have to keep feeding it orchids. Oh, well.

Hi there Julie, It's wonderful to have you here with all of us. Welcome to the forum
You raised my eyebrow when you mentioned aquatic life. I've been a fish hobbyist for 26 years now. It would be just great to see some photo's of your hobbies.
