How did you get started in this hobby? Male
Default

A friend of mine owned a tobacco shop in a mini-mall and one day someone had orchids in the window of a shop across the way. I asked my friend who the flowers belonged to. He told me they belonged to the owner of another shop in the mall, and took me down to meet him.

The owner invited me to visit his greenhouse and while there, showed me how to re-pot. I didn't know while he was doing the re-potting that he was re-potting divisions to give me. He gave me three plants to try and I've been growing orchids ever since (40+ years).
