Hello fellow orchid addicts :) Female
Smile Hello fellow orchid addicts :)
Greetings from beautiful British Columbia Canada.
I am not a complete newbie to orchids, but I am no expert. I have found my way back to the hobby now that I am a stay at home mom. It has been 12 or more years since I have grown any orchids and I am excited to be building a small collection already. 30 plants is small right, my hubby doesn't think so
I am getting some help from the great guys at Paramount Orchids, (about 5 minutes from my home) and collecting cheap but abused orchids from the B.C. orchid gardens ( 5 minutes in the other direction). The B.C. orchid gardens operate on a bring it in in-bloom and sell when the blooms are spent basis and are not really much of an orchid garden, but I am fortunate to be able to pick up many varieties for 5 bucks, and with some luck can bring them back to good health.
This is such an informative forum and I am looking forward to learning from and with all of you.
Emily.

Welcome Emily! You live not too far from me. I'm in Port Alberni. I haven't made it to Paramount yet [I don't drive] but I certainly intend to!

Vanda lover paramount is amazing! They have 4 huge greenhouses with different temperatures and thousands of plants! So worth a trip over if you can make it, I could spend all day there. They are only open once a month or by appointment.

I have been drooling over their website! They were at the orchid show in Nanaimo last year. I just have to talk someone into taking me to their greenhouses! Maybe if I'm nice to my husband he will.
