Red face new to orchid geeks

Hello everyone my name is emma (orchid em) and I just goined orchid geeks today. I'm from homer alaska but now live in costa rica and have become very interested in orchids. I just began collecting orchids about 5 months ago and love caring for them and watching them grow. I havent chosen my favorite species yet but am very drawn to cattleyas and laelias for now. I will post some pictures soon and know I will have lots of questions to contribute to the site. as we say in costa rica pura vida! emma

Hi and welcome to the forum Emma. From Alaska to Costa Rica, that's quite a
cultural change. Catts. are one of my favorites. We'll be interested in seeing
your orchids and hearing about them. Great people here with lots of information.

Welcome to the forum, orchid em.

I guess it will require much less effort to keep orchid there than in Alaska

Hope to see some pictures soon!

Welcome Emma. Dont be in a rush to select your favorite species. You have approximately 35,000 to choose from and an estimated 150,000 hybrids too. How's THAT for selection?

Happy Growing!

Welcome Emma. That was quite a move you made and I hope you are settled in now. I found an interesting link of articles from the AOS regarding reintroduction of cattleya orchids in Costa Rica. Thought you might enjoy some cattleya info. http://www.chadwickorchids.com/Cattleya/index.htm

You should also go to the user settings and update your profile to insert Costa Rica in your location. It will be helpful to others to know your location in the world to give proper growing advice. Happy growing.

Welcome, Emma. I haven't settled on a specific type yet either. I keep getting plants that turn me on. Now I have all different types. Interesting eye candy.
