Hello - Orchid Board

Hello I'm Edwin. I have had orchids for about three years, but have been actively collecting for about eight months. I went from three paphiopedilums and two phalaenopsis to around fifty-sixty plants. I may have a problem!

Hi Edwin…

You’ve come to the right place everyone here suffers from the “Orchid Problem”…and soo far no cure seems to be insight…

Welcome aboard, Edwin. I don't know for sure if we all 'suffer', but the affliction is rampant here. Have fun!
