New from New England USA

[eparys]

Hi everyone. I received my first Phalaenopsis about 8 years ago when I retired and had a smashing success with it. Since then, many more (I have over a dozen now) have followed me home. They live on my porch in the summer and my window sills in the winter. Several are always in bloom at any given moment and as we are in the north east USA where the winters are long, the blooms make me smile when there are multiple feet of snow!! This year, my children sent me a Beallara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream'. I was googling for information on this orchid when I came across this forum.

I am truly a novice with my orchids – I can replant, feed, get blooms from my Phalaenopsis orchids but have successfully killed a cattleya. Hopefully I will not kill the Howards Dream - It was beautiful when it was in bloom!!

Look forward to getting to know you all
