Smile Newbie from Minnesota

Hi everyone!
I am new to the forum as well as orchid addiction. What a great bunch of people gather here. I am dazzled by your friendliness and knowledge.

I bought my first orchid about a year ago..a white phal that I bought at a Home Depot store. Then things started getting out of control...I took a new job in the hospital that I have worked at for many years and found one of my new coworkers to be an avid orchid lover. She has taken me under her wings and shared her knowledge ( she belongs to the local Orchid Society and has done judging etc) and I am now the proud owner of 10 plants. My proudest moment has been getting the 3 little plants that I bought on Ebay to bloom!

I am eager to get to know you and have you share your expertise with me.
I hope to figure out how to post photos too...I suppose with some time spent here I can slowly figure out the forum.

Anyways...Hope you all have a great day!
Deb

Hi Deb! Sounds like you'll fit in just fine! I have many small orchids from e-bay, but haven't gotten them to bloom yet, so you're way ahead of me there! I look forward to chatting in the threads, and maybe seeing some photos! It took me a long time and many lessons from my son to learn to post! I can grow plants- I can take pictures- Putting them on the computer is another story!! Welcome aboard!

Hello and welcome to the forum! If your addiction is growing then you have come to the right place. What other type of orchids do you have? You are very lucky to have someone so knowledgeable to take you under their wing. You should bring them to the site as well.

I can't wait to hear about your orchids and see some pictures.

Welcome to the forum. You will meet many wonderful people here. Sounds like you know what you are doing already. I already killed 3 or 4 seedlings from e-bay.
