Thus far it's been great! I found the "Even NOIDs need names" post and was cracking up! I'm sad it's an old one, I was thinking up more jokes... *chuckles*

I am new and living in NC as well. I am originally from Miami and feel like I really missed out in orchids while I lived there. As crazy as it sounds I only recently got into orchids due to 2 rescue phals from Lowes too!!!

Haha, that seems to be a steady way to get into it! Who can resist walking by those beauties? Even if they are nameless... I moved here from Alabama last fall and left a prime environment for growing as well! I'm finding plenty of humidity here as of late thought, so I'm sure it will be pretty similar. Welcome!!

Hello from another Raleigh-ite. Nice to know there is someone who understands nearby. Lots of my friends check my medication bottles, or give me that sorta nervous "can this be normal?" look when I start in about my orchids. Have you checked out the Triangle Orchid Society? Only been to two events myself, but like it very much so far.
Cheers
