Default Hello fellow orchid enthusiasts!

Hello my name is Henry and I have just joined this board so thought I would introduce myself.
I am the proud owner of a Phalaenopsis (Thelma), a Dendrobium nobile (Louise), a Oncidium (Xena) and two recently shooting Habenaria radiata (Hiroshima) corms.
I dont know about you guys but since I started keeping orchids I have become a little obsessed! Is this normal???

Oh we certainly understand about your newly formed habit...as long as you understand that none of us here have any intensions of talking you out of buying more orchids!

We will even go so far as to encourage you to add to the ever growing collection by asking you to join in on our plant projects!

We're glad you're here and look forward to growing orchids with you, Henry!

Hi Henry, You've come to the right place. Of course you're normal. It would be abnormal to buy only a few orchids at any given time
