Greetings from the PNW!

[TheEarthGarden]

Hi all!

Joining the board from Portland, OR.

Since space is tight, I'm focusing mainly on temperate and miniature orchids (as well as carnivorous plants)!

My background is more with cacti/succulents and food crops, so this is a new area for me, but real excited to be learning more.

Cheers!

Glad you could join us. What orchids do you currently grow? Sit back, read a few of our members' posts. You'll find space, not to worry

That's cool. I actually flip back and forth between this forum and a carnivorous plant forum. What all are you growing?

I've got none of those orchids except a couple of NoID phals. I have (3) of the 'Akai Ryu' I ordered. I ordered a S. Leuchophylla 'Hurricane Creek' from the same guy and there were two plant stuck together. I'm really looking forward to seeing that one.

I also have a NoID VFT and Sarr that are both trying to bloom for the first time this year. I have a few N. Lady Lucks and a couple of N. Ventrata. I haven't had the Nepenthes for long and haven't been able to get them to pitcher yet.

I'd like to get a Ceph at some point, too.

Welcome! Looks like you have quite a collection going already. This is an awesome forum for information and sharing in each other's pure joy of growing and blooming orchids. I hope you will post pictures of your plants, we do like the pictures!

[estación seca]

Welcome! There is a Totally Off Topic forum where people post photos of their other plants, and we drool over those, too.

Welcome from a fellow Portlander; are you a member of either of the local OS?

Unfortunately not yet, but it is my intention!

I did go to the most recent show and pick up a few things though

Awesome! The white on those 'Hurricane Creek' leucophylla are pretty stunning.

Just fair warning on the Cephs (maybe this is just my experience) they throw a HUGE hissy fit when acclimating, so just be prepared for that if you order online
