Here is the orchidchat forum. Can't wait to see your posts and orchid photos!!

Hi Boojum!

I don't know much about orchids, but I love them, so I'll be watching!

Great!! Thanks for visiting!

Yeah, a nice new sandbox!!

Woo hoo ... I am the Orchid novice but love them all. So glad you started this forum boojum!

I'm starting to get ideas. We need more orchid interest but I don't know our buddies e-mails. Maybe I'll d-mail them.

boo: Yes, by all means d-mail and ask them for their e-addresses. I've been doing that all day!

Hi you guys! It's me, Grow_Jo from DG. I'm using my other-orchid-website name here. (Todd will recognize it, LOL).

Thanks for the invite boojum.


Joanne

Great to see you made it, Joanne!!! I can't help it, I keep thinking of "A Wrinkle in Time."

Ah, glad to have found you! Thanks, Boojum!

OK Kathy, you silly goose, I'm here. I'll start with Blc Keowee 'Newberry'.

Jim

Oh nice Jim! Cute pic. Jim, can you post this on the Feb thread? There's one here too. http://cubits.org/orchids/thre...

Kathy, I took your advice and went to an orchid seminar at Al's Garden Center in Woodburn, OR today. Wow, was that fun and I learned so much (drop in the bucket I'm sure). I joined the Orchid Society and received an orchid plant for joining. What a fun afternoon. Thanks for that advice Kathy.

So glad that worked out for you, Lynn. Wish you lived nearby so I could take you to all the cool places out here!

I keep saying some day I want to go to MA. My grandmother was from Lynn, MA.
I did find out yesterday at the seminar that I don't want to grow orchids outside a pot. They need way to much care (daily). Weekly works great for me. But, who nows maybe at some point I will feel different about it. : ) It would be fun to go to those places with you, I know I would learn so much. Learning is such a fun thing to do.

Smart to avoid mounted ones. I do water daily.

For the first time this weekend, being new to orchids, my DH and I dined among the orchids!! They are growing in a corner of the kitchen and gloriously surrounded our dinner. It was magic. 15 plants are blooming out of 23. DH says they seem to be multiplying "like rabbits". LOL. I fear an obsession coming on.....

Isn't it wonderful!!?

I found my way back. : )
Will take picture of the two that just opened up. Will post later.
Thanks Kathy, wondered why I wasn't seeing any activity yesterday on the Orchid Cubit on my home page. It was gone all together. : (

So happy to see you, Lynn. Looking forward to your pics!
