Hey! from Kansas City
Hey everyone! I am a new orchid grower and have been soaking in any information I can get my hands on. I have grown my collection quickly only limiting it by restricting myself to one new orchid per month! That is possibly the hardest thing about it so far. I have 4 'no id' phals that I bought from a "big box" store at steep discounts, 1 'no id' mini phal, a Brassia Arcuigera Rchb.f 1869, Zygopetalum 'Artur Elle' Wichmann Orch. 1969, Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft' AM/AOS, Paph. Chamberlainianum 'Mt. View' x Paph. Haynaldianum 'Long Life', and a Paph Wellesleyanum FMA Alba x In- Charm White. By far my favorite is the paphs. I buy my orchids based on the fragrance and also the proportion of flower to foliage. I don't know why, but if there is too much foliage and little flowers then i'll skip over them for something with showier flowers and stronger scent.
