A little about me!

Hello everyone, I'm so excited to have found this forum as at last I feel I am in contact with like minded orchid lovers. I have a somewhat checkered past with orchids, my first experiences being with 2 plants, one was a phal & both were neglected although in flower. I quickly became obsessed, checking for problems & just generally staring at these beautiful plants. However, over a period of about a year and many hours of internet research, I managed to kill them with kindness. I was devastated & swore I would never have another as I had spent almost every waking hour 'worrying' about these plants & to no avail. But - guess what! About a month ago I was in my local supermarket & spotted a mainly motley crew of orchids which had obviously been left over from Christmas. They were all in cellophane boxes but I did have what I thought was a good look & although there were various alarm bells going off - I brought one home. Needless to say I have been again researching, not really knowing what I was looking for but I just felt something wasn't right. I eventually found this forum and I hope you may be able to help me.
