Hello from Illinois Female
Default Hello from Illinois
I rec'd my first phal as a gift in April....now I have 19! Love, love, love them! I look at my house and think (If I could knock out this wall, I could put a sunroom in and then I could get more orchids!) It really is a sickness.

Welcome to Orchid Board! It may be a "sickness" but who wants to get well? Glad to have you among the ranks of the "infirm"

Welcome to OrchidBoard. It is a nice hobby/addiction. There are worse ones I'm enjoying it.

Welcome! The OB is such a wonderful place with great orchid people. I started out with three orchids for about 2 years and then one ( a phal, who is now in orchid heaven ) bloomed. My count went from 3 to 90 in a year! I had help bc I found out about an orchid store near me, yeah it wasn't good at all 😜 Its been wonderful though, I love this hobby so much ❤️

Welcome but tread carefully! You may find yourself buying orchids more often than not from now on.

Thanks everyone! Thanks to all the posts on OB I found a ton of information on what to do and not do for my first orchid which is currently sporting a new leaf! Glad I found it.
