Big Hello
 

Hi there. I am a newbie from Wisconsin, USA. I have been growing orchids for about a year and am deffinately addicted!! I went from one phal to about 50 and have just ordered WAY too many more. I am looking for all kinds of advice and will post with problems from time to time I am sure.

:hello

Hi Daethen and welcome to orchid board.

Everyone here is really helpful so I'm sure you'll find the answers you need.

It took me a couple of years to go go from 1 to 50 (got 56 just now with a few dead ones that have been and gone)... however fast you collect they are really adictive arn't they. :biggrin:

and a biiiggg welcome to you!! jump right in and enjoy the site, there is so much useful information you could read forever! welcome daethen!!

Yes they are. I have approx. 26 more on there way here now. My family lives with my mom in law and she has told me NO MORE. And that was before I ordered these. She is going to kill me. Of course, I have a good friend that will be helping me sneak them in a few at a time.........:coverlaugh:

:coverlaugh:

Ah yes... you have to mix them in with the existing ones... then "these? no these have always been here".

It doesn't wor for me ... my hubby works at the same place as me and tends to answer the door, so I can't hide them by having them delivered to work :coverlaugh:

:welcome:
I hope you enjoy it here and post lots of pictures! Sneaking them in under the radar can be hard: I have recently acquired a couple of new little ones and my boyfriend's mother has aquired another 4 - this came about by us deciding that (due to a rather tempting offer from one of the sellers here in the UK I use), I would buy her some for an early xmas present and she would buy my me some :blushing: it took a couple of attempts at explaining the deal to my boyfriend but, in the end, he gave up and had a cup of tea :D

Good Luck!

Welcome and glad you finally decided to join up. Lots of helpful people here, waiting to answer your questions. Enjoy!!!!

This is why you need a good friend that is willing to be an accomplice!!:D

Welcome! Make sure to tell your mom-in-law that the orchids keep the air clean in the house.
