Greetings from Michigan

[Mr.Mclovin]

Hello Everyone!

I have been some what of a lurker on the site for the last few weeks, and I finally decided to take the dive! I have been orchid obsessed since this past holiday season, and now I think about/look for them whenever I go to a store. lol

I own a total of 6 orchids so far... but I have purchased several for my mother and girl friend that I care for and grow. (I'm hoping that one day these gift orchids will produce backbulbs and other bonus plants that I can one day claim for my own, bwahahaha) Alot of my coworkers and friends think Im a little weird since most guys my age (24) aren't really interested in plants or flowers in general... but they dont know what their missing! My gf knows I'm a bit obsessed now, she is always tell me how I dont have any room for more or that I have enough... but I think she has pretty much accepted my love for them.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you and learning more from each other!

I live in the suburbs north of Detroit. There are several orchid societies in Michigan. Ann Arbor is a great society and I went to their show this year.

What major city are you closest to? I'm pretty familiar with many of the orchid societies here, since I travel to their shows and help setup my society's local show.
