eager novice / Brooklyn NY

[stefpix]

failed as a kid - killed a paph.
but then was before the internet.

now I am eager to have a collection - I like Dendrobiums and ground species. More into Species than hybrids - but bought quite a few Den and Phals at Lowes ' plant morgue ooops I meant the closeout shelf for a dollar or 2 each.

Many of these are growing new canes/leaves. Got 2 shop lights and 2/ 4 CFL to play with - and a ffire escape S exposure - sun filtered by tree in the summer.

anyway I am a freelance photogr on a budget - stefpix dot com
here seems a younger + more adventurous crowd than gardenweb - which yet gave me a lot of good info!
best
