Hi all,
I am a very new member of the group but a grower of some 25 years experience. I am a judge with the OCNZ orchid judging system and have (with my wife Margaret) a general mixed collection but specialise in Phalaenopsis. We both belong to the Whangarei Orchid Society.

Bonjour Wally,

It's wonderful to have you aboard with all of us
25 years is a long time to be caring for orchids, you must really just love it.
Curious about you ... What was your very first orchid?

Say hello to Margaret

Our very first orchid was a Cymbidium species lowianum.

Hi Wally Welcome to the neighborhood

We'd love to hear more from you...after growing orchids for over 25 years, I'm sure you'll be able to teach us something

We also love

If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Hi there!
Welcome aboard!!!
I am glad to here you specialize in phals...they are my favorite and I would like to expand my lil collection, instead of having NOIDs, but actual species.

I am sure I will be talking to you about them soon!

Again, welcome!
Candice

Welcome to the group! I would like to hear about the OCNZ judging system and how it differs from the AOS system.

Hi Wally,

Welcome to the OB! Glad you joined!
With 25 years worth of orchid growing and information I bet you can share plenty of interesting advice. I am looking forward to your posts!

The OCNZ system was originally based on the AOS system but has changed somewhat over the years. I could send you a rule book if you like.
