Hi Everyone

[LilyBean]

Thought i should say hi and introduce myself.

I live in Plymouth where i go to university although I'm not a typical student as i do not live in the SU or my bed, lol.

I got an orchid as a present about 6 months ago, i think its a phalaenopsis... and that's where it started.
I now have two others and with one of them i have definitely bitten off more than i can chew!

I'm looking forward to making some good friend and to getting some good advice.

Hello and welcome! You've come to the right place to get great advice (and enabling to increase your addiction).

Is Bean your actual last name? If so, are you by any chance related to the MacBean clan? I ask because I'm descended from that clan on my father's side. I imagine there must be Bean families whose names originated from different sources, but I just had to ask.

Hi Zoi2 and greenbean.
Bean is just a nick name. Was your clan Scottish or Irish? My maiden name is Troup descending from the Scottish Troup clan, our ancestors may have known each other
