Default Hello, New From New England

Hi,

I'm new to this board and semi-new to orchids. I decided this would be a good source of information on them, especially as my collection grows and becomes more diverse. The other day, I got a Tsubotaara Melinda Marie 'Blue Moon' and when I went to look it up, I found very few information on it. Some of the results that came up in a Google search came from here and I visited before so I decided to make an account.

Anyways, I currently have seven orchids. I have 3 NoID Phalaenopsis orchids, 2 Laeliocattleya orchids (Lc. Secret Love 'Purple' and Lc. Little Fortune 'NN'), a Vanda (V. Wirat x V. Madame Rattana) and of course the Tsubotaara previously mentioned. My orchid love all started with a grocery store Phalaenopsis I bought in April 2016. I also have some African Violets, Thanksgiving Cacti, Streptocarpus, Hoyas, and more. I also have a cat, Hannah, who doesn't touch my plants at all now. She used to pull buds off African Violets and such a little when I first started having plants but now she is so used to them being there she completely ignores them despite them being right in reach. Because of her, I don't want anything that can hurt her if she decides to break character.

I live in New Hampshire so it's cold outside much of the year (like right now) and I have no outdoor space right now, anyways so none of my plants go outside, even in Summer. However, my plants all live in a large window. I really enjoy plants (specifically flowering plants) and a plant nursery is a very dangerous place for me to visit. Actually, any store selling plants is dangerous!

Thanks everyone! I really love plants and still have a lot to learn about them, including orchids. They are most fascinating!

Welcome! We have three cats. One eats plants, the others don't bother them. But, they are out of reach anyway. Don't feel bad about the cold, here in Indiana we don't have sun. You'll like it here and you'll learn a lot! Which will enable me you to buy more...

Welcome, NHPlantMommy.

It it's always cold why don't you try growing Masdevallias or Draculas?
