Hello from Memphis, TN
 

Hello everyone,

I am new to this board after finding you on google. Needed an emergency fix on a dying orchid. It is in the hospital now thanks to a quick reply from a forum member.

I am not a complete orchid novice, but have never tried anything fancy. I have a dancing lady and a Blc. that I got from the Botanic Gardens local sale, a nice little Dendrobium that is blooming like crazy that I got from a local specialty nursery, and then there's the hospital patient...my beautiful Phalen that my husband gave to me for our anniversary 2 years ago. :violin:

I keep them on my desk at work in the winter and I rotate them around during the spring, summer & fall so they get some outside time.

So anyway hello. Glad to find you.

:hello and welcome to the OB! :biggrin:

hope your hospital patient pulls through. I've had a few of those, and it's very rewarding when they thank you for your care by growing into healthy happy plants. :biggrin:

If you need any more advice, you know everyone at the OB is here to help!:goodluck:

Welcome to the OB, The Best Orchid Advice Around!!!

Another resource for you would be the Memphis Orchid Society. Check them out - they are a real good group!

Glad you found us as well. Welcome. Sounds like the beginning of a long journey, one filled with many new purchases (with our enabling :biggrin: ) and lots of learning.

hello! and welcome to the ob, glad you found us! in time i hope for the sick one. good luck growing!

Hey all,
I just posted my photos to the members gallery under Shadytrake.

RIP to my Phalen. Oh well. I wish I had taken photos when it bloomed. Bummer.
