Why are you a OB member? We have a lot of new members since I joined and I thought it would be nice to hear your stories on why you decided to become a member.
As some of you know I love to hike and explore our wonderful planet. One of my overnight hikes in the Everglades, I set up camp in area that is normally underwater threw out the year. This particular year we were experiencing a drought and my buddy notice this plant attached to a tree. Not knowing anything about orchids I had know idea what it was, but my buddy said he thought it might be a orchid. Well a few years went by and we found our self's back in that same area, so we decided to check it out. To our amazement if was in full flower. Now I had to know what we found so I went online and found this great website. I joined so I could have someone ID it for me. I had such a great response that it became an addiction. The plant we found was a Cyrtopodium punctatum (cigar orchid).
Soooo thanks to the OB I now own over 200 orchids.
