Hello!
 

So, I've been using this site for advice and information for several months, but neglected to introduce myself! We started with orchids a few months ago when my husband brought home a beautiful white phal on impulse. We learned the hard way with that orchid (just lost it recently), but learned a lot of things through this site in how to take care of phals and what to look out for next time!

We added a red phal (blooming now, recent purchase, not sure the variety) and a cattleya slc best friend cleopatra (starting a new growth) from a local orchid show here in Pittsburgh, PA that we really enjoyed attending. So thanks for everyone's help and we've been enjoying our orchids!

Hi SamandAnne and welcome to Orchid Board :welcome:

As you've already found out this is a great place for information and advice.

Welcome to the Orchid Board SamandAnne!! This is indeed a great source of information.

:hello and :welcome: SamandAnne. Good luck with your new 'chids. I too lost my first orchids, as you'll hear from most people. But once you get going, you'll do just fine

Welcome to the board!

Hi, welcome!

Thanks for all the hellos! I'm sure we'll see you around the board.
