Hello from Norfolk, Virginia! Female
Default Hello from Norfolk, Virginia!

Hello everyone!

I'm new here and a new orchid grower! I am a student of Marine Biology at Old Dominion University. My love affair with orchids started as a child. My mother was from the Philippines and Orchids were one of her favorites so we had many around the house growing up. After she passed, my dad donated her orchids to the Orchid Conservatory at ODU. This spurred me to buy my first (a yellow phal) a couple years later while visiting a friend in Florida. I brought it home to Virginia cradling it in my arms on the plane ride haha. I have had her for 3 or 4 years, and since then she has given me a keiki! I also bought 2 more (pink) phals along the years.

I'm up to 4 phals but am looking to expand my collection! Any advice you can provide a novice grower like me would be much appreciated!

Happy growing!
Natalie
