Hi there From Texas

[RJSquirrel]

Accidental orchid lover here

Few years ago I buy one of them 7.98 orchids in a little mesh plastic bags to see if I could get it to grow. I'm thinking if its growing, sitting on the shelf at Lowe's, in a plastic bag no less, I think I can do this

Well that little orchid has bloomed twice for me and I think it just had a baby!!!

I think I got mister big pants on me and bought some orchids that aren't so care free and easy going. Didn't come in a plastic mesh bag and cost more than 7.98. So here I am going to learn more about some of these neat little plants.

So hello and glad to meet ya

hehe - yes, seems there are nearly as many potential problems as there are orchids ...
They like to keep us on our toes I guess
