Newbie from the Appalachian Mtns

Hi everyone,

I'm a long-time gardener (inside and out) with varying degrees of success, and I got my first orchid about a month ago. It's a rescue from Kroger that "called my name." Other than it being a nearly rootless Phalaenopsis I don't know anything about it. I soon got it some company (besides a "Christmas Cactus") when I bought a much more healthy miniature Phalaenopsis in immediate need of repotting. I'm now keeping my new addiction going, and avoiding over babying them, by spending huge amounts of time reading about and thinking about orchids. What Fun!
