Hi-from an orchid newbie in NoVA - Orchid Board

It's been about 8 months since I purchased my first orchid , a paph. 'Macabre Pie' at HD, & since then, I have learned alot, & purchased quite a few more orchids. I live in NoVA, near Mt. Vernon, with a couple of kids & several pets, a fairly large yard (new to me, we moved in in July 2004)& a rapidly growing collection of orchids. I have a sunroom at the back of the house, unheated, that I'm setting up with supplemental lighting. I've learned so much from online sources, & I'm grateful for all the information that has been passed on...Hi to Littlefrog, who I know from the Slipper Orchid Forum (& who has lovely plants!, I got a paph. Hennisianum from him)...I look forward to sharing orchid info with everyone...Linda

Hi Linda, nice to see you here. I'm just starting to hang out here too, but it seems like there are some nice people here. A little quiet, though... *grin*
