Hello everyone

[ascoleman]

Hi, I'm a new orchid lover...received my first one for Valentine's Day and immediately became hooked . I've acquired two more since then. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to identifying the varieties that I have so that I can properly care for them, I'd appreciate it. I intend to acquire more if the three that I have survive. Thanks in advance.

Google! If you know the general type of orchid that you have (Oncidium, Phalaenopsis, etc) then you can look at pictures until you find one that matches. You can also post a pic on the forum and get input from others to at least narrow down the search.
