new to orchid board
 

glad to be on this board...i've been viewing others post for some time now. i've taken a lot of useful information from this board...very informative and sometime information overload, esp. for beginners. I have eight orcids so far (you're right...it is hard to stop buying them once you get the bug). all but two, my wife and i have purchased, have been rescues. They are all loving life at the moment. I just purchased a new cattleya that is called "tropical pointer cheetah". Very nice. pics to come if i can figure a way to post.

look forward to many good times on board sharing pics and stories.

:biggrin:

Looking forward to hearing more about your collection and seeing :photo: of the 'chids ;)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask :D

thanks everyone. i just created a gallery of some of my flowering orchids. "cheetah" is there as well. i'm guessing the cheetah name is because of the brownish color and spots on the stems. great find at the local store...at least i think.

Absolutely Beautiful!!! Thank you for posting the pics.

Lovely 'chids! :clap:

Welcome aboard. Be prepared for more good times than anyone should have a right to!

Good Morning Tradervick,
I thought I sent you this message, but can't find it anywhere, sorry if you get it twice. Your orchids are beautiful! I see you have the same decorative pot I have with drainage holes. What do you use as medium to prevent the orchid from drying out in a day or two? Thanks much for the info and welcome. :waving
