Greetings!
I have been lurking around here for a while: reading, researching, enjoying your beautiful photos. Thank you guys and girls for your knowledge and all the info you are so kindly sharing here!
Finally, I guess, today is the day for me to join this forum. And it is a very special day: my husband and I are visiting Hawaii and went to check out the Kawamoto Orchids Nursery. Wow, what an experience! Three hours later and about $400 less in my husband's valet, we walked out the rightfully owners of 15 beautiful, blooming size orchids, a half of them with buds. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, dreaming about my beauties - . Can hardly wait to get them home.

Welcome~

I visited Kawamoto nursery last fall and came home with a few.
It was a fun experience walking around all over and picking my own plants.

Hope everything grows and blooms wonderfully for you.
