Default Hello
Hello to everyone here...I've just joined this forum...yet another one (I'm already on OGD, OSF, and SOF....and others...)...but this one looks good to me! I've been growing orchids for about 24 years, mostly paphs...and phrags...slippers in general...and I'm still a true professional amateur: I'm still killing them! But then again, who doesn't?
Somehow or another...I still learn a few things here and there...and I'm actually killing less...although the old rule I learned in my childhood fish-keeping days still applies....the more it costs, the more its likely to die...maybe that's why I'm cheap....well, no...I have 4 kids...that's why I'm cheap...its hard to tell a kid he can't eat because Daddy needs another paph, but, well...somebody's got to do it!
Take care, and its great to be here! Eric Muehlbauer ...not much in bloom past a few hybrids, Paph barbatum, and a C. acaule at my family's summer place...

Welcome Eric!

Until someone pays you to kill their orchids, you're an amateur (which, I think is a good thing!)

Cheers,
Julie

Hi and welcome Eric!

Orchids - To grow them is to kill them.

Wow, 4 kids - you are a brave individual and busy no doubt!
