Hi all,
I'm new to the forum - my husband found it while looking for advice for one of our sick orchids (we purchased several sick Phals from a garden center and, after repotting, are nursing them back to health). We've caught the orchid "bug" - we have 5 phals, 2 oncs, 1 dend, 1 phrag, 1 paph, and 1 vanda. We'll most likely get another orchid next payday.
We're getting very serious about our orchids, to the point that we're planning a grow room in our basement and a lathe house outdoors for summer. I'm in Wisconsin.
A little about me: I'm going back to school after taking several years off to finish a degree in botany and biochemistry. That said, though, I am a *complete* novice when it comes to orchids. My goal is to learn as much as I can about them, however. I also enjoy playing with my dog, playing the clarinet, gardening in general, writing, baking, and soapmaking.
I look forward to meeting you all!
