I always feel so akward (sp) when I join new forums like this...UGH!! I'm the new kid all over again!
I have (what my husband would consider) entirely TOO many orchids...I told him that simply isn't possible (as I add 4 more this week

) I prefer species over hybrids; Wow, I hope that didn't seem snobish

, I seem to have better luck with them - strange, I know. I guess I got stared with chids about 9 years ago - killed all of them less one - a small blc x, lost the tags ages ago. I never could get the poor thing to grow OR bloom. Finally, it grew three new pseudobulbs and has two bloom pods...I can't wait to see the flowers, I have no idea what they look like anymore (butterscotch, I think)
As far as the frogs go..or hop as the case maybe...My Mom has always had a fondness of frogs and I guess it rubbed off on me. I have one on my foot and everywhere else in the house, my office, my truck - no wait that's a seahorse...
