Talking Glad to be here!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Sharon, from WI and I've grown orchids for about 20 years. Mostly Phalaenopsis. I only have 5 Phals. But I've acquired a Brassavola Nodosa and a Jewel Orchid. For these 2, I have a few questiions.
As for me, I also grow African Violets. The wasp varieties and a couple of trailing AV's. And, a few other plants that I may be able to get some help with.
I have MS, so outdoor gardening is limited now, unless I can get my son to help out.
I look forward to reading and learning. So glad I stumbled upon this group!
Sharon

Hi Sharon! Good to have you with us! I used to grow african violets LONG ago. I LOVED the wasp type! I'm fairly new to orchids, but have fallen head over heels for them! They are addicting! I look forward to chatting in the threads!

Hi Sharon - glad you joined us. I too love AV's. I used to grow them a long while back.

Orchids are my choice addiction these days ! Enjoy
