Hi Brian...welcome to Orchidboard
This forum is like no other
You're going to meet some really friendly folks from all around the world...each of them growing different types of 'chids under different conditions...and all very generous in sharing their knowledge.
The hurricane season is so scary...and for very good reason! Sorry you lost your 'chids but I'm happy to see your interest in them has been rejuvenated!
We'd love to see some
of what you've been collecting.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
