My fiance' Started me off about two years ago with a hybrid from a local wholesaler. Little did she know... "what a monster she had created"
Three or four books later and many times dragging me away from new plants here I am. I have had good results with, of course, the easy Phal.
I stuggled with a young Sympodial ( Bleeding Heart?) and it did come to an early death due to " A mysterious person "watering it and letting it sit in water. So Orchid geek I am!!!
