New to Orchids, New Here - Orchid Board

boxerfan · #1 06-21-2007, 04:36 AM

Hi all, I'm Lisa from Columbia, SC USA and I just started with Orchids in early April, 2007. Since then I have collected 13. I have 9 Phals., 2 Paphs., a Brs., and a Brsdm. Overall, my Phals. are doing quite well; I have 4 growing new leaves at present and one preparing to bloom a second time off of it's original spike. I just received my Paphs, Brs., and brsdm. last week for my birthday. A friend took me on a day trip to the Carter & Holmes nursery and my family contributed to my bank acct. so I could pick out several new additions. In addition to my Orchids, my interests are reading, antiquing and my dogs, Cooper, a Boxer and Riis, a Boykin Spaniel. I look forward to meeting new people and learning a lot. Lisa

Hi Lisa...

to Orchidboard!

Sounds like you've got a nice collection going

We'd love to see some

hotos:

We've got lots of great folks sharing their growing experiences...this is a wonderful place to learn

We also have some gorgeous pics in our gallery and a chat room where a number of us usually start gathering at around 8 pm EST. A second chat gets started around 2 pm EST to accomodate our European neighbors

It's amazing...a few days ago, Dorothy and I were chatting about orchids with 4 members from Germany and 2 from England! Way cool

I see you have dogs too

I have a boxer named Samantha and she's a riot!!! I'm sure you realize that they are nothing like any other breed

We have a forum devoted to our Pets, post some pics...I'd love to see your babies

WELCOME

Glad you can join us here at OB
There is a plethora of info, experienced orchidteers ( I just made that up

) and some kidding around.

The Euro chat was a good time! It's nice to talk with people from across the big pond!

Hi Lisa, sounds like we're alot alike, I was bitten by the bug in March of this year and have since gone CRAZY

over orchids and have collected close to 60 at last count...I can't stop...somebody better throw this computer away

. I can't stay away from the orchid grower's sites! I also have a Boxer, named Fred, and he is my baby, totally unlike any other dog I've ever been owned by, he's a riot! We live in Florida, WELCOME!!
