Hi New from North Texas

[Cballen87]

Hi, I found this website when I was looking for information on mini moth orchids. I currently have two, and I've managed to keep them alive for several months. I've grown a couple of moth orchids in the past but they both died. I didn't know much about orchids then, but now I'm learning more and more about orchids. I want to try growing cattleyas next.

Thank you Josh. I saw some cattleyas and vandas at Lowes so I think I'm going to buy 1 of each. I'm reading through the beginners guide on here and I've already learned so much.

Welcome to the OB. It's a great resource to learn about your orchids. Be sure to post pictures when you can.

Just google before you buy because it'll give a good idea of which orchids are easier to grow and so on.

Thanks Josh and Carrie. I think I'm leaning more towards the cattleyas.

Welcome North Texas:
I hope you find your visits to the Orchid Board as informative, fun and interesting as I have. You will find all sorts of Orchid enthusiasts here and any question you have will get some response.
This is a group of very friendly people who like to talk about their orc's and we can brag to each other a little without having them roll their eyes at us, as others are so prone to do ! My partner does this so much, I surprised he can see to read!
Have fun and ask anything!
Steve
