Hello, hello!!!
 
:hello :biggrin:
I have enjoyed the company of orchids for many years now, having been bitten by the bug at a very young age. Surprisingly I am horrible with Phals (beginner's orchids but not for me!). I am a through and through Oncidium fan! Especially the minis. From there I have collected a few others. Mostly for their green flowers!!! I love green.
Alas, through trial and error, I have lost and saved a multitude orchids over the years :tombstone:. I am still learning and I am still trying out and finding out new things ;).
Hopefully, this is the first step to becoming an absolute orchid fanatic! Until then... I am a happy enthusiast.

Welcome to the forum! We will love your input and pictures of your plants. And if you wish, here you can learn to care about Phals :rofl:
I also think that green colored blooms are beautiful!

:hello and welcome! :waving

I am just now getting the hang of Phals myself, after trying for 6 years :shock: and also had my best success with Oncidiums for several years.
I too love green blooms, tho I only have a couple that get green blooms - a Cym, and a Catt (tho I haven't yet got the Catt to bloom ...)

Post pix of your orchids if you can - we all love to see them!

Will do!!! I finally got my Sharry Baby to bloom after 2 years of near-death. It was very exciting and now I am banned from my tiny apartment patio during the day because it attracts bees! >< But the smell that wafts in... Divine. It will be nice to share the pictures with other people who appreciate it as much as I do~

Hello:)and I am sure you will pick up some great tips on all kinds of orchids here. I also have always felt more comfortable with Oncidiums versus Phalaenopsis Orchids myself, and yes aren't green blooms beautiful!

Here is my Sharry Baby!

Here's to hoping for many good returns and no more orchidocide!

Welcome to Orchid Board :welcome:

Sharry Baby is one of my favourites too. Mine si just in the process of dropping it's flowers so it's great to see a picture of yours open :biggrin:

Welcome to the forum. Green is definitely an awesome color on blooms.
