And so it begins..

Hello all. I have finally decided to stop lurking and join in. Always wanted to grow orchids since I went to the orchid show in NYC when it was still at the trade centers. I was totally blown away. I didn't have the room at the time, but now I do so I am going to take a crack at it.

I also grow bonsai which is another passion of mine and I can see orchids becoming a major addiction.

I am lucky enough to live near two nurseries, Venamy in Brewster NY(20 minutes) and J & L in CT(about an hour away). I am about an hour north of NYC for people in the area.

I'm sure I will have many questions as I go. Glad to be a part of this hobby and addiction.
