Yet another orchid newbie--me!

[Alia]

Hi!

I just started orchid growing in late winter, and have been gardening outdoors for about ten years now. I am really into paphs of green and pink and catts, growing everything in semi-hydro (thanks, Ray! ). Anyway, I can't wait to learn more and get better at growing these cool plants.
