Hmmm maybe pretty typical, I have enjoyed orchids for many years but never tried to grow any. I bought 2 marked down at the grocery store and thought I'd give it a try.

I read a tad on the net and took it to my son's since he has both good light and a newly found green thumb. This was just 4-6 weeks ago. Well, the plants grew new shoots off the spikes and...drumroll...the first one bloomed yesterday.

Well, I could tell I was entranced by the newbie, now I know I'm likely to become a collector. Our local group has a meeting Monday and I will probably be there! I'd like to find out which varieties these are as they are "potluck" the other one has different leaves with a redish stripes but otherwise look much the same.

I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how, maybe you can help me identify it.

Thanks for being here, I know I will spend many happy times learning about these wonderful plants.
