Hello!

I'm new to the orchid world, and yet I feel as though I've been lusting after them for years now!

Hi, we are all the same, once you start you can never give it up! Welcome to the club. Does your signature translate to : From (the) New Cat ? Just curious.

Welcome abneofelis!! Great group of growers on this forum - beginners to expert - and all of us are still learning. Orchids are fascinating and so easy to draw you in; it's a sickness that I don't want to cure.

Ask questions!!!

From (the) new cat, yes, very good! When I came up with the standard years ago, a cat I had newly adopted was walking on my keyboard, and she typed the letters AB, I filled out the remainder, and the rest is history.

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

May be I will try self-suggestion as well

I am getting addicted too. I bought one Cattleya on my way back today. No bloom: half price ($25): very healthy: very large... can't complain.

I will post the picture in another thread.

Same here. After the last buying spree, 2 days ago I went to another nursery. Saw 01 catt - about to bloom. Nursery owner said, 'Yellow colour'. Hey I do not have yellow Catt. So I bought it for S$9.

How do I end this? How do I end this?

Forget it - It will never end.

guess what? I am a newbie too and really am really interested in the orchid forum and participating. However, being a "novice" at the pc, I don't know how to post a question. perhaps, as you did post, you or someone out there can give me instructions on how to post a question? thanks for any help, love to join you folks!
