Default Introductions - Hello from Nantucket

Good Morning OB:
I am inspired to introduce myself because of Ron's white slipper picture posted this morning. Didn't know about OB and have been reading all posts for the last two months.
Have been dappling in orchids for about 5 years. One of my clients at the end of the season loaded me up with Phal's. Have killed my fare share during the learning process, but seem to be able to bloom them now.
The past year and a half my interests have peeked and I wanted to put forth more effort and branch out into more unusual orchids. Yikes! I feel like an addict. My collection includes, 1 Onc. Mendenhall "hildos" in bud, 2 mas., "mystica", "erinacea", 1 jewel orchid, 1 bellista NOid, 2 Pleuro., "wagnerri", col Kuhn (yellow), 1 Cirr., "icicles", cat., aurantiaca (darkest orange), Haddy Notch (paradise), 2 den. NOid, 4 phal, NOid, 1 phal equestris, 3 paph. "The Queen", "Sukhakulii", "Prince Edward of York"
This learning process have been delightful and I am finding what my likes and dislikes are in the orchid world. There will be NO MORE "NOid's", Phals, or Cat's. My interests lie in the Pleurothallis genus, to include dracula's. Also, I am fascinated with the neofinitia's.
I would like to thank all of you who write on a regular basis, the information has been wonderful!!!!!

Welcome!

I'm with you on the little neos. I think that will be my next purchase.

Thanks Josh. New World Orchids is a fabulous site and my head spins over the choices. I think that initially I will just go with the Neofinitia Falcata to begin with. I want to know how to bloom this one before I get into some of the other fancy colors.

Exactly! Some of them are very pricey.

OB is rough on the wallet but just loads of information.

Hello...and welcome to OB.
Sounds like you have quite a collection!!!
If you live on Nantucket (one of my very favorite places on Earth) you must have trouble deciding whether to look at your beautiful orchids or the beauty outside your windows!
I hope that you find all the help you need on this forum. Good luck with finding the perfect Neofinitia.

Thank you all for such a kind welcome. Will let you know when I get a neo. Pics are hard for me now because like most of us on the island my computer has lymes and is limping along. This Winter I will get a new Mac.
