Greetings for the wonderful Northwest.....

I recently joined this site because I thought it would be a great resource. My name is Shelly aka Frazmo, I haven't been growing orchids long compared to most people; only about a year, however I have certainly got the bug badly....... I currently have around 105 orchids which I grow 99% inside my apartment. I got a really good deal on 3 compots so about half of my collection are still babies..... I have also bought alot off of e-bay which provides a bigger selection than the stores around my area.

As for my favorite I like them all...... I look forward to learning from all of you......

Welcome. The bug is sweet isn't it?

Aboard Frazmo. Many of us here on the OB have been either growing like you and I at about a year as well as some growing for over 20 years. The knowledge is broad and here to share.

105 chids in a year, gosh I like you...sounds like the bug has bit.

Welcome to the OB Shelly! Compots certainly have a way of increasing one collection - what a great adventure when they start flowering. Don't forget to visit our Gallery - it is a great place to feature your plants/flowers in your own photo albums.

Hi Frazmo!!! Welcome to the board. I hope you find yourself at home here.
105 'chids huh? I feel orchid poor.
I've been growing since October-November (don't remember exactly) and I only have 15. It would have 16 but I recently killed one, which reminds me, how are you with Masdiavellas?
