Greetings from a Newbie
 

Greetings Orchid Lovers,
I was given my first beautiful plant a few days ago.
I call her Venus. She is a Phalaenopsis, I believe.
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Shiatsu Practitioner, and Opera Singer. Venus looks quite lovely in my MT office in Montclair, NJ. Glad to see this website. Looking forward to learning about this very lovely beauty.

Peace,
PamO

P.S. what are tags and trackbacks?

Welcome to Orchid Board :welcome:

Tags are where you can tag a post with words that can help other people find posts on a certain subject. I have to admit I never use them as searches can pull us this based on the text in the post. But you might use a tag of 'vanda' on a post about a vanda orchid, or something of that nature.

I've not really got my head around trackbacks but you don't need to use them. It's something where you have a reciprocal link between two websites but I don't really understand how it works.

Welcome & Hello !
Sit back and relax...you've come to the right place...read postings by other members and learn from their wealth of knowledge gleaned from their years of experience on growing orchids.

Hello and welcome!
Joann
