Lot of good advice from knowledgeable and friendly people here. We like pictures too.

Hello and welcome to the OB, you've got a great start on your orchid obsession opps, hobby.

Hi and Welcome to our family! So what is your source for orchids...I mean who is supplying your habit...lol.

hahaha!! thanks...lots of snow out there, I know snow, I am orginally from Northern Minnesota and survived the likes of minus 50 degree weather, but now I just occasionally view the snow in the mountains surrounding the valley.
mostly I get my Orchids from The Home Depot, but you can buy them almost anywhere here, I haven't done so yet, but I have plans to visit some big Orchid nurseries scattered through out SoCal.
I am new to Orchids, but I grown African Violets for many years and I must say the Orchids are spectacular.
