Hi All!
My name is Becky (but everyone just calls me Bec). I've always thought orchids were beautiful, but never was adventurous enough to bring them into my home. A couple months ago I attended an orchid show and brought a couple home. One is (and please excuse me, as I don't really know much about orchids at all) the common orchid that most people think of, and I can't think of the name for it at the moment. The other is something like Lucidia discolor. I seem to be having relative success at the moment, but am glad to have found a forum so that I can learn more.
I did give my plants names (it's something silly that I do), so please again excuse me if this is just not "proper". It's so hard to remember all those fancy names.
Beyond my orchids, I don't do much with plants (horrors, I know!
). I have a love of day lillies and have numerous ones in my yard. But I may really come to love orchids!
Can't wait to learn!!
Bec
edited to add that the other orchid is Palaenopsis, I think....
