Hi, my name is talyce, I'm an orchid addict
 

Just registered...Thought I would say hello to all. I scammed my way into growing orchids when I got married. My husband and I got married in Key West at the Robert Frost Cottage, where there is an orchid garden out back. I was always fascinated with orchids, but never grew them. Now my husband is even into them. I consider myself lucky to have him involved.

Hi and :welcome: to Orchidboard!

What types of 'chids do you have? How many? Do you grow them outdoors here in Florida?

Questions...questions...questions... :)

We've got a wonderful community full of people willing to share their knowledge of orchids. Feel free to ask any questions you might have :)

We've also got a great photo gallery so :photo: :photo: :photo:

and a bunch of members usually meet in the chat room each night starting around 8pm est...hope to see you there :)

:welcome: To Orchid Board :cheer: ... Gin

Bonjour and welcome to the forum.
It's wonderful to see your other half involved :D
My DH doesn't grow them but he does enjoy seeing them around the house, He has even brought some home.
It's all about orchids and power tools around here :biggrin:

Hope you enjoy OB :D

Hi Talyce and welcome to the board :)

Thanks to all! I started my collection 2 years ago. I've got your usual phals, a couple paphs, my husband's favorite vandas, cymbidiums, nuns, dancing ladies of all sorts, a brassivola, dendrobiums, and others I have no idea what they are. All are kept outside in the Florida weather, although the few cold fronts we get are almost as bad as prepping for a hurricane. I am no expert but I do ok...That is the reason I thought I'd join!

Hi Talyce, nice to meet you. :welcome:

:welcome: Aboard Talyce, its great to see another "Floridian" joinin' the OB:nod:. Our community has many growers in many conditions globally, from novice to veterans :biggrin: Our community :welcome:s you where the fun begins :nod:

Sounds like you were taken by orchids at the "I do"...way to go :biggrin: Know of the cottage, never had the opportunity to stop by there, but what a wonderful place to have a wedding ceremony.:bananaslide:

While I am glad to see another Floridian join I really wish more Michiganders would sign up as well :biggrin: :scratchhead:

Really great your hubby follows you in your hobby (or leads?) Looking forward to lots of pics.
