Why did you join the OB?

[Rorchid]

I came to the orchid board after having grown up in a house with a mother that loved all types of plants. She has grown different plants over my young life and I have always had house plants. Since 2004 she has begun to collect many orchids. I have inherited her love of these amazing orchids and joined the orchid board to expand my knowledge. I know that I will always have atleast a couple orchids in my home, right now there are about 25 and I appreciate all that they give to me.
I am amazed at all of the knowledgable people on this board and am very thankful that I have found a place where I can talk and read about orchids without people getting bored of the conversation. Thanks to all who have given me advice on growing, I hope to be on this board for many years to come and show you all my progress!!
