Default New to forum, new to orchids!

I am Jess. I am new to orchids. I have had one phal for a year and have just collected 4 more in the past few weeks. It may not be popular, but I can't help but rescue the sad orchids that have lost their blooms and ended up on the clearance rack at my local Lowe's. I have 4 phals of various (and unknown) sizes and colors. 1 dendrobium, the octopus type...and 1 cattleya. I will be searching the board for display/rack advice/suggestions and help through all my trials with these lovely plants. My only experience with orchids is with my mom. She has had the same plants since the 70s and I'm going to be inheriting splits of those in the very near future also!

Welcome aboard! Actually, many people rescue orchids from discount shelves so you are in good company. I'm fortunate enough to have a botanical garden nearby that often carries some different varieties of orchids from Lowes and Home Depots, but I still only by from the clearance shelf.

Welcome to OB. Many of us buy NOID Phals so it must be popular!
