I have been converted

OK. So I know this is not the first time that you all have heard this....But I have been lurking around the forum and learning as much as possible over the past couple of weeks and finally decided to create an account.

I have always been fascinated by plants (something i attribute to my grandmother). I never really thought keeping orchids, because i always thought that they were too difficult and blah blah blah. Since it is winter time currently in Raleigh, NC I have decided to take the leap due to the lack of growing season outside. I bought a few Phalaenopsis from the local Lowes in order to get my horticultural fix.

The more and more that I read about orchids on this forum intrigues me further and further. I never knew there were so many types, colors, sizes, and shapes. Due to my collector personality, orchids are obviously something that I will want to pursue and invest more time, in addition to my plants outside ( I have quite the collection outside too!).

I want go ahead and thank everyone for the information that I have already received from all of you from reading the forums and thank you all ahead of time for some of the questions that I will probably ask.
