So I'm not exactly new to the OB, but I realized today that I haven't signed on in four years. Back then I had a sizeable collection growing in my kitchen.
Well things are a bit different now. A lot happens in four years, and unfortunately not all the changes are good. So now I'm starting anew, and rejoining the OB, because I have orchids again.
For now just three phals, all NoIDs, but show season is coming. Who knows what'll come home with me!
Welcome back shams! I hope that your collection grows and grows - Why wait for show season? There are orchids out there right now that need a good home!! With that in mind, I 'adopt' a lot of little orphans - don't you feel a little tug at your heart just thinking about it?

Funny that... yesterday I went to one of the bigger greenhouses in the area, and inquired whether or not they'd be getting any Oncidium Twinkles any time soon. The orchid guy was just putting together an order for next week with all kinds of special goodies. We got a little excited.
