Spanna is on a distinguished road
Smile Newbie 2

Hi,

My name is Anna, Spanna is a nickname I have had for many years. I live in the Cotswolds, a beautiful part of the world - but I am biased!
I was given a phal orchid last year and it sat on my north facing window sill with beautiful big pink flowers, and there it sat until I moved house. Now it has been joined by a 'friend' another phal with bright yellow flowers and everytime I see an orchid in a shop I can't help but stop and look.
I have been reading this forum and thought it was time to join.

Hi Spanna ! Welcome to the forum. It's truly a great place.

I am partial to Phals And, I have been planning for sometime now to get a yellow one. Do share of a picture of your Phal.

Cheers,
Jo

Hi Spanna, the Cotswolds? That sounds like UK country. I guess it is all pretty and green and pubs in hamlets. Good to have you on board; you will get to know lots of nice wacky people on the forum.

Bill

Hi Jo,

I will get some photos, when its in flower. I found the yellow plant in the bargain bucket at my local super market, and its surviving pretty well considering its being looked after by me! :-)

Cheers,
Anna
