I have loved orchids for a very long time, but it seems like the orchid bug is here to stay! This looks like a lovely forum and I have benefited greatly from the wealth of information here! I am very happy to be here and hello to everyone! Hopefully I can post pictures soon, I have lots to share with everyone from the "Orchid Symphony" from the U.S. Botanic Garden. Nice to meet all of you!
I, too, have to watch out for the addicting factor in this and other things (making wine for example). There's so much to learn, and it's also really really exciting when you start to get results!!
