Now I have windows!

Hi everyone,

I fell in love with orchids nearly 20 years ago...just like most 9 year old boys. Anyhow, I still remember that my first orchid, a no ID pink veined Phal was like $40.00. My mom gave me space for two plants and my second Orchid was a $60.00 no ID Paph. These prices sound ridiculous huh?

I successfully rebloomed them for years until I went to college. Not enough light in a Dorm. Needless to say my mom killed them. Out of the next three places I lived none had sufficient window space or light in the south or east direction. Odd construction, trees and neighboring buildings thwarted me.

Finally, I was able to buy a house of my own two years ago, one that came equipped with a southeasterly sunroom! The sun room juts out in such a way that that I have three walls with windows. I'm now up to 10 orchids. While I feel that I have the Phal and Paph thing down, everything else brand new. And now that I have different phals I'm really noticing that they are all different. I plan on asking many questions as I tend to obsess a bit. So...hello to all.
