The New Guy From Ohio

[Elf Lord 1960]

Good morning to one and all from Ohio! I'm fairly new to Orchids but I have to say I'm a Phalaholic, I just love them! I have a very small collection started including a Phalaenopsis no name, a Phalaenopsis violacea v. Malaysia and a new one for me, an Encyclia fragrans. I hope we can all learn as much as we can about Orchids from one another.

Welcome to the forum and the addiction, E L. Violacea gets my vote as the prettiest phal. That said, I've not had luck with it or the Bellinas. I'm mainly into catts growing on a balcony and vandas in the patio although I do have a few phals to brighten up the house. My current favorite is a cross of equestris x lueddemanniana, a cutie with small grape candy colored flowers.

Thank you for the welcome, sounds like you have a nice collection going. I have always dreamed of growing Orchids and my daughter got it going with an early Father's Day gift of the no name Phal I'm hooked
