getting back into orchids

I used to have orchids but had too many than I could care for. Then I moved into a series of apts with very little natural light so I stopped collecting. Now that I'm in a nice sunny SW facing apt, I'm getting back into the hobby. Just wanted to say 'hi' and introduce myself.

Hi Bkim and welcome to the forum. So what kind of orchids do you grow? We'd love to see pics. I think that you have to post 5 times before you can upload pics. Also it would be great if you could update your location in your profile. Different locations = different advice if you ever need help with any of your orchids. Again, welcome aboard!!!!

Hi, I used to have the standard sort -- Phals, dendrobiums, oncidiums. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of my old orchids but I've recently started taking some pictures of orchids. My wife and I recently attended the 2008 Pacific Orchid Expo in San Francisco so I'll post some pictures from that.

Welwome bkim! Most of us like to post pics of our haul when we visit orchid shows; it would be great to see yours!

There is lots of great information on this forum. It's the best 'book' I have!

Welcome Bkim to the forum,

I would have felt so sad if I had to give up my orchids. My flat is a bit too small now for all my orchids, so now I am using my office too and no one is complaining.
Looking forward to the pics
