Smile Hello

Hi! My name is Rob and I've been keeping orchids for about a year. I think I have the 'fever' pretty badly as I now have about 60 plants. It's nice to know that there are other people with this great hobby.

Hi and welcome, Robert.

You have 60 orchids...within one year?! You do have the "fever", or, as I call it, addiction. I started the hobby two years ago and have 20. What types do you have?

Welcome Robert.

I have had one orchid for three years and this year I went from a second orchid to having 34 over the course of five months. It's addicting but fun. Right now I have a Phal Keiki and three Den Keiki's going which is totally new for me.

You'll learn a lot on here and don't be bashful on the questions since we'e all learning from one another.

Just as long as you DO NOT turn into an orchid yourself...I think you'll be okay

Welcome Robert -
Hope you have lots of room because its hard to put on the brakes. There are thousands and thousands of different orchids and there is always something new that you don't have! Oh yes.......how about one of those.......oh! and one of those too! :-) Enjoy! I'm up to about 85 myself in two years and the brakes are on, but I'm still moving and trying to stay in control. Again, glad to have you as part of the group. mike

Resistance is futile!

Mike, that is so true about "...how about one of those...oh! and one of those too!" Right now, I'm in that mode. I found several I want and having a difficult time resisting...almost giving in to buying one.

Still working hard on resisting,
