Hi from Devon UK

Hi everyone! - I'm new to orchids - a friend bought me a Phal last Christmas, and she doesn't know what she started! I've currently got six and am becoming obsessed with these beautiful things - all seems okay so far, but I joined the forum for growing advice, and am much enjoying reading all the fascinating threads. Best regards from Ilfracombe

Hi Leslie. It's amazing to see so many orchid enthusiasts from around the world on this forum. You're right, growing orchids gets to be an obsession. I keep adding to my collection and have found orchidgeeks to be truly informative and fun. I'm sure you'll enjoy. Good luck with your collection.

Hi Leslie -- I'm from Devon too (Plymouth); but left a long, long time ago. I love it here in Florida as I can grow so much and leave it out doors.
