Hi folks! Glad to make your acquaintance!

[dcpoole]

I've been lurking here for about a year and thought I should introduce myself. Every so often I'll have a question that I know someone here would know the answer to, or an answer to a question someone else has asked, but I don't post because I haven't made an introduction post yet. So here is me, saying hello!

I live in central Michigan. I'm mostly a window sill grower, but I have a simple little terrarium for some of my more humidity-loving friends. I definitely tend toward minis and micro-minis since space is at a premium. In fact I recently re-homed my first and only standard size orchid, a NOID phal in bloom, to my mother-in-law so I could free up the space prior to some upcoming local shows.

I also grow mini African violets and your everyday houseplants as well.

Thanks to all for a lovely, warm welcome! This board has an uncommonly positive culture, and I appreciate the deliberate efforts by many here to foster that. I'll do my best to contribute to it as well!
