Hello from Wales.
Hello!
I'm new to the forum, and relatively new to orchids, but I am learning a lot. I got my first - a phal - as a gift from my partner in May, and my second - another phal - as a gift from my mother, in July. Then I got adventurous and bought myself an Odontoglossum - not sure which variety, but it is gorgeous. In August I bought two rather neglected plants (another phal and another Odontoglossum type I think) from the local DIY store which was selling them off cheaply because they had dropped their flowers. That's when I knew I was hooked. I have no idea what the two rescue plants will look like when they bloom, but I can't wait to find out. I don't have any more room in my house for new plants, but I am plotting new shelving just so I can buy my wishlist Orchids. So yeah, I guess I'm definitely an orchid addict. I'm having fun reading and learning in the forums - good to meet you all.
Helen, Wales, UK.

My husband has drawn up plans for a new table for me. He's been getting into woodworking, and I plan to take advantage of his hobby to make mine go further. 
Hopefully, you can rearrange to feed your addiction. I'm wondering if I really need furniture other than plant stands.  |

Welcome and hello!
When I ran out of window space for my plants, I bought shelves and lights.
