Hello from Michigan - Orchid Board

Hello Everyone,

I'm way too happy to be here, yes that's right I'm obsessed about orchids! I could use some help with one of my oncidiums and I thought that this would be the place to go. Thank You.

Hi Heather, welcome to the forum

No worries about being obsessed, it's a sickness that we are all very proud of, we thrive

What's going on with your oncids?
Enjoy the forum Heather!

Welcome Heather from Cadillac. There are quite a few Michiganders here. Hope you enjoy yourself here. Where in Michigan?

Hi Heather...welcome to Orchidboard

Obsessed with orchids?

What a novel concept

You've just introduced yourself to lots of folks with the same obsession...and beware...we're all big-time enablers too

I haven't looked through the other forums yet but if you haven't posted your oncidium questions, post a thread and somebody will be sure to help.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

Welcome to the board! I'm in East Lansing... I haven't cracked the code that is my non-blooming Oncidium yet. I can tell you how to make it grow big and healthy, though. lol!

Thank You everyone for the warm welcome! I'm currently living in Jackson Michigan. I'll be adding more info to my profile soon. I did post a question about my sick oncidium. Thank you again.

Another WELCOME from Michigan. I live in the Grand Rapids area. I grow under lights, about half are in the basement, mostly phrags, and the others are in an extra room on the main floor. I grow quite a varied collection. Bulbos, Catts, Oncidium Alliance, a couple of Vandas (they don't like me) Phals, Paphs, Phrags.

I have grown Bulbos for only a few months and have recently tried my hand mounting them. I really don't know what I am doing so it is by 'gosh and by golly'. I find the Bulbo section here is not very active so I google a lot for the info which I have learned. This week my frostii VN opened up. They really do look like little Dutch shoes.

Welcome.

Aboard Heather, great that you have found the OB...lots of information is just a click away.

What other type of orchids do you grow?

We love

s and don't forget to take a look at what our members are growing.

Sweet addiction
