Hey all,
Just doing the whole "hey i'm new here" thing!
I've joined my local OS with the next meeting being next Monday and am so excited/slightly intimidated about it all!
My first foray into orchids was by way of a gorgeous noID IKEA phal (who ended up being subtly fragrant). Shortly thereafter I bought up two sad and dehydrated Lowe's phals. After watching a few videos from MissOrchidGirl and Astrid, I started smelling grocery store orchids. Low and behold, Trader Joe’s of all places delivers with some noID but fragrant orchids. One reminds me of running around my orange trees as a kid. The sweet smell of orange tree blossoms and rotten dropped fruit. One smells like some straight up vanilla lusciousness and one smells like cherry flavor and crayons. I am hooked.
My ever supportive and loving husband has ordered me up some birthday presents from New World Orchids and Ebay (aka, i made life easy for him and ordered my own birthday presents) We have a Sedirea japonica Minmaru Shima, Neofinetia Falcata amami furan (large) and a healthy Neofinetia Falcata Otakamaru.
Anyway, I have already posted about my Trader Joe's fragrant noID's and have waxed poetic about my incoming sedirea (phal?) japonica and neofinetia (vanda?) falcata shipments. I am so excited to be part of the orchid growers club and hopefully meet some of you IRL.
Hope 2018 is treating you well!
