I am so new to orchids (the exception is phaleonopsis) that I don't even qualify as green. I've kind of jumped in with both feet though, getting myself some oncidiums, a cattaleya, a dendrobium, a nodosa, a stanhopea and a cute little vanilla vine. I hover nervously and protectively over them like a mother hen with her chicks; everyone seems to be ok, but no doubt time will tell. Often in my online orchid research I would find myself perusing this board; tons of info here so I thought I'd join up.
