Newbie but already in love :)

Hi, I am very new to owning orchids. I've always admired their exquisite beauty but shied away from getting one because I was a bit intimidated by trying to care for them. Early last month my husband came home and surprised me with the most beautiful Magenta Phalaenopsis Orchid and I was hooked! He gifted me with a devastatingly beautiful white one a few weeks ago and today while we were browsing at the local garden center we found a dish with several flowers...originally priced at 129.00 but because they were in such sad shape I got it for 30.00. I'm hoping that with some TLC and new knowledge acquired here I will be able to nurse them back to health I look forward to learning so much here!
