Hello everyone I am a relatively new orchid enthusiast. It started with a Phal to go with my African violets. A while after that I bought an Oncidium Twinkle. Yesterday I bought a Phal type Dendrobium. These things are addictive! I have learned a lot here so far and look forward to even more.

Hello, Norton!

I'm a newbie too. I also started my collection because I grow African violets. When I read that Phal's and Den's growing requirements were similar to the violet's, I wanted to see if I can grow them too. Now I'm hooked!

Welcome to OB Norton!! Once you have been bitten by the orchid bug, you won't be the same. There is no cure, the only way to hold off the symptoms is to buy more orchids.
