Lorna, welcome to OB and happy to have a fellow Oregonian.

Where are you? I am in Portland. I just cannot wait for Spring. NO MORE SNOW!

Did you know that Oregon Orchid Society is having its Spring show in May during Mother's day weekend? Hope to see you there.

I must to say people in this forum are GREAT and you will learn a lot from them. Of course, you will get addicted very quickly.

Thanks, a little farther south in Eugene. Yes I missed the Portland Society show but plan on going in May!

Oh, Good! Have you visited Briggs Hill? Briggs Hill Orchids - Eugene, Oregon Bart and Helene are the owners and my buds. I highly encourage you to visit them. They are very nice and their greenhouse is one of the cleanest I have seen. If you like those lil orchids, Bart has LOTS of them.

lol, I try not to visit Brigg's, they are not good for my ahem, uh-addiction. They are very nice and helpful too.

Hi Lorna! Welcome to OB! I'm down in Jacksonville. I'm in the process of weeding out the space hogs and some of the NOIDs. I'm trying not to buy plants like the Phaiocalanthe Kryptonite that is threatening to take over Carol's house!

I seem to be drawn to species Paphs, and Carol and I have a mutal love of Phrags. Anything mini really gets my attention.

Oh yes! Briggs Hill! Bart and Helene are wonderful. If you like Bulbos Bart has boatloads of them.
