I am Erica from Virginia. I am a newly married, 24 year old, orchid lover. My parents and grandparents fostered my love of plants and orchids spoke to me the most. I did FFA all through high school and it was at this time that I bought my first phalaenopsis orchid. I have tried a few other kinds, but stick to the phals. Simple and so rewarding. The light in my home seems to be good for them but not for higher light orchids. SO.. just about every flat surface near a window is covered in phals with a few regular houseplants thrown in for good measure. My significant other usually treats me to an orchid on major holidays. I always tell him I would rather have an orchid that will rebloom for me than some roses that will die.
