Newbie from the UK with 23 UFO,s
 

A huge "hello" to everyone.
Honestly, three years ago I had no interest in orchids until my grandaughter suprised me with one as a gift, a Phaleanopsis.

I nursed it mainly from fear of a good telling off if it popped its clogs. Facinated by this (Unamed Flowering Object) I had to have another, so to date I have 23 Phaleanopsis all UFO,s. Lucky for me after reading some posts here, I have had no problems, well not yet anyway.
I'm really pleased to have joined this site and hope I can improve my skills even further, whilst maybe helping someone else out along the way.

:welcomeflowers:

"Unidentified flowering objects" ! :rofl: I love it!

Welcome to Orchid Board!

Killer acronym...:p welcome!

Welcome to Orchid Board :welcomeflowers:

Looks like your UFOs turned into YAPs :) Welcome to OrchidBoard.

Definitely YAPs, or as my grandson says OAPs "Oh Another Phaleanopsis" :lol:

:welcome:

OAP purchased yesterday to add to the magic cavalcade, so now 24. Will have to exercise some restraint, but I can’t seem to pass the “I am so lonely, nobody loves me isle” in the store without taking a quick peek. Maybe my next stop should be to search this thread for an orchid shrink!
Well, pip pip, cheerio for now.

Orchids rarely need a shrink; that's part of how I rationalize the expense for them. Orchid growers... that's a different issue all together. ;)

Welcome to the board!
