I have been a silent member for quite some time, decided to say hello. I am very new to orchids, my husband brought a beautiful Miltoniaopsis home to me last July and I have been slowly collecting additional plants. I have grown most everything at one time or another but never an orchid. I have found a wealth of helpful information here and extremely helpful members. Hello!

Thank you! I get so caught up in reading, I am amazed at the knowledge and experience on this forum. Members are so helpful and always ready to give their opinions and share their experience, it is just a pleasure to find a source such as this!

I am very new to orchids and have found the miniatures to be just too awesome to overlook. There are several members with collections of miniatures that have help me to decide that is what I want to grow. I have several and love them.

The Miltoniaopsis I started with is doing well as are a couple other full sized plants, but the minis! My husband, who actually started this craze for me with that first plant just looks at them, asks me " that's an orchid?" Yes it is and it's awesome! I look forward to learning more and adding to my collection.
