Sorry you feel that way, Daisy. I thought you'd been welcomed quite warmly and we sure enjoyed seeing your pictures of your orchids. I've been wondering where you went.
Many of us have been chatting for years now, and feel like we know each other but in truth, only a few of us actually do. We meet up down here in Florida for orchid shopping. I have never met Ursula although I'd like to.
It makes sense to me that we should all post pictures of our new blooms into the monthly "Blooms" threads that Ursula starts. That way we all see them because when you post, then you are automatically watching the thread for everyone else's pictures and comments. We have a thread that Lindsey started to show off new things we bought, and one to show our "other" plants that I started. There's no need to go back to the beginning of every thread to pick it up and chat, just "Jump to the End" then maybe go back a little bit and read.
I participate in a lot of the other forums, Tropicals, Brugmansias, Vegetables, and the Birds and Butterflies forum is really fun. They all work a little differently but I'll admit that I enjoy this one the best because it IS a little bit organized, thanks to Ursula.
Btw she was not "smacking upside the head" when she suggested to Richard that he put his new question into the thread that he had started.
