Just joined in NorCal

Hi all, I've been lurking a bit since I joined a couple weeks ago. I just restarted growing orchids a couple of years ago after many years of growing other things (only outdoor plants). I'm really enjoying what is available now, and am trying some types I've never had, like phragmipedium. So far, my orchids love their new San Francisco home. I lived for a time in Sonoma county, and successfully got Cypripedium reginae to do well there, multiplying and blooming well (surprised the heck out of my Canadian supplier). That's the only terrestrial I've ever tried. Right now I'm just trying out any kind that appeals to me.

Anyway, thanks for providing this site, really interesting and some wonderful, inspiring photos here!
