New to forum and have much to learn.

Hello to everyone. My name is Cindy and I stumbled into this site while surfing the web on orchid care. I am relatively new to orchids but have been growing cymbidiums here in Northern California for about 4 years. Now I am trying my luck with dendrobiums, cattleyas, and vandas. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and get to know everyone. Thanks.

Welcome Cindy! You've come to the right place for good information and lots of friendly and fun folks. There are lots of Cym. growers here and many of them from your area. It's only natural that you'd be branching out to dens, catts & vandas. Orchids are truly addictive and we all support the habit! Glad to have you with us.

Thanks for the warm welcome Sharyn. I will be soon be needing a lot of advice since I ordered a greenhouse to house all the recently purchased orchids and have no idea how to set it up. Thank goodness for sites like this.

Dear Hummer344, Y
Yup...I'm in Vallejo and I'm addicted to all kinds of plants. Especially orchids. They are so unique and exotic. I'm glad I found this forum. I will be having a lot of questions in the coming weeks since I'm getting a greenhouse soon. I will post a thread to get some much needed help on that subject. Thanks again for the warm welcome. I'm still not quite sure how all this works but willing to learn and learn and learn some more. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum solay!

I lived in Vallejo until I was seven, back when it was a bunch of cow pastures. Sometimes the cows would break thru the fence and eat our grass so we had fun chasing them out!
Guess what I remeber?? Our address was 157 Dillon Drive, Vallejo, phone [ Number Edited ]. However, don't ask me what I had for lunch yesterday; I won't remember THAT.

Nice to meet you solay! Hope you enjoy it here!

[solay]

PhalPal, you are funny and right. I still remember the address of the first house I lived in when I arrived in the states as a kid. Although can't remember phone number. My back yard is hard as rock and full of clay, I guess the cows didn't do their business where I live. Hee! Hee! Everytime I want to plant something I have to add all kinds of compost and dig out rocks for days.

Thanks for the replies. I love this sight.
