Nope, not too long! Glad you chose to introduce yourself. Sure sounds like you went "all the way". There are many enablers here, so before long you may have many more orchids. Jump right in and feel free to share pictures and stories with us, as well as questions.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
