I would like to join the AOS, but to be honest, rather spend my money on another plant. I think part of the problem is everything costs so much, that many younger people don't have the economic means to get into a hobby. I have no friends that grow orchids, young or old. I'm interested in local groups, but with my school and work right now, I have limited free time. But, I LOVE telling people about how wonderful orchids are. I have one friend right now that has killed two phals, and I'm trying to get her to come with me to the store, so I can help her pick a (new) healthy plant. If I sense someone slightly interested, I try to help kindle the interest, because I love my plants and want others to share in the joy. I just started growing about 4 years ago, so I wasn't too young when I began myself.
