Hello from Lubbock, Texas
Hi,
I am brand new to the forum and already I have learned something new. Weng said about paphs "As these little plantlets mature, the mother plant will start to die." Oh my, I needed to know that so that I didn't start to grieve...
I am not new to orchids but have not been growing them for several years because of several moves that my family made - one to California - where they wouldn't let live plants cross their borders 
But now, I have retired, bought a new home with a large sunroom and am restarting my passion of orchid growing.
I look forward to getting to know everyone, exchanging experiences and pictures. |

Hi, Thakshila,
I have a pond and a waterfall in my sunroom. Looks like I have all the ingredients I need. Thanks.

Hi and Welcome to OrchidBoard! Glad you could join us. Seems like you might be having some fun setting up your orchid growing space. I hope we will be able to see it with pictures!
I know,  we are so greedy asking for pictures and you are still getting oriented around here. If you have any questions on orchidboard, feel free to ask anyone.

Hi Jean...welcome to OrchidBoard 
You've found the greatest place in the world for learning about orchids. The people here are very diverse and very willing to share what they've learned along the way.
We're also a bunch of picture fanatics so 
If you need any help with the board, just give a yell...

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.)
