I've always had Tropicals, Succulents and other "friends", but it wasn't until April 24th of this year that I discovered Orchids for myself, and quickly learned how addicting they are!
I decided at the get-go that I would write down every detail about each Orchid as new events with them happened, along with taking pictures to correspond with the notes. This quickly became a passion and the best distraction (for me) from life's bumpy roads. Spending time with my Orchids, and learning everything I can about them, has become my form of meditation.
It was my oldest son who came up with the idea of putting my Orchid journal on the web, which I am doing. This quickly brought my written words to life in a way I never imagined!
I am currently owned by 16 Phals and one Oncidium, along with several Crown of Thorns, Jades, Carnivorous plants, Oleander, Rope Hoya, Christmas Cactus, Kalanchoe, Aloe, Pineapple, Lemon Seedlings, Avocadoes and Peace Lilies.
I look forward to learning from others, as well as sharing to help others. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity to be a part of such a great Orchid community.
