hey there! newbie in NYC saying hello!

[lucidruthie]

Hello everyone! I inherited a Phal with my job when I started with my company 2 years ago, and it's been a very odd journey.

I do a lot of photography and I recently took a ton of photos at the NYBG annual Orchid Show, and it was really amazing to see so many different types of orchids, and has inspired me to put a bit more effort into getting my Phal into decent shape again.

I'm gonna go post some newbie questions about my plant, but I wanted to make a proper into first!

It's great to be here and I hope to learn a lot about orchids and get to know some of you in the process
