Hello Lynn, I'm Rick, I'm knew at orchads also. One thing I've learned was to have alot of patience, because orchads do take their time growing and flowering. I started investing two years ago in cattleyas and others. Untill now my thirty two plants started out as several large ones. I just made a bunch of cuttings and finally they are now mature and I'm waiting for flowers. Buying sometimes one or two will add to my little family. I'm ready to start propagating using a keiki paste. I orderd up 5 things to make it. Doing this was to make sure the keiki paste was right. I guess I'm one of those do it yourself guys. So I'm going to decide on some flower spikes and keikis.
Regards Rick

Hi Lynn, believe it or not my name is Lynn, too! I've been growing for several years now and have a lot more confidence to grow plants that I wouldn't have dared a year or so ago. And I find that I'm now able to give advice to other orchid enthusiasts. Let us know which orchids you are growing.
