Hi there,

Sandi from Pittsburgh. New to the site. Got hooked on orchids about 5 years ago when a neighbor moved and gave me a puny Phal that she wasn't taking with her. I stuck it in the "right" light and after six months it started growing more roots and a year after that it bloomed! I was hooked and now have a small collection, about half of them "rescues".

I joined the board because I found a poor Phal in a trash can on campus (someone had a bad Valentine's Day!) and came here for advice on cold damaged plants. If that's interesting to you, see my first post in the Beginner's section!

Thanks!

Thumbs up
and welcome. Is it the Phipps Botanical Center I'm thinking of in your city? I've heard it's quite lovely.

Yes! Phipps is one of my favorite places. Beautiful orchid room every year, too!
