Howdy from Houston
Howdy Orchid Board!
Just wanted to give a quick into. I've currently a single box store Phal my wife and I receive as a gift last year, but I'm looking to expand my collection soon!
I've gone through, what I would expect, is the typical first time orchid process: Buy an orchid on whim (or get as a gift in my case), dang near kill it following the advice from grandma/sister-in-law/lady at church, research online, do a little better, find Orchid Board, realize there is so much more you could do differently, go buy a ton more orchids! I'm at the final step, haha!
I am a long time reptile and frog keeper, and have built a few frog vivariums, although I don't have any currently. Eventually, I would love to incorporate more Orchids into a dart vivarium.
Does anyone have recommendations for orchids and orchid supplies in the N. Houston area? I'm going to the Arbor Gate this weekend for reasons other than orchids, but I plan on taking a look at what they have available in terms of plants and supplies. I'm happy to report back if anyone in the area is interested.
Looking forward to learning a lot from the collective wisdom of the group.
Johnny
