Questioner from Colorado!

Hi Everyone!

I am so happy to have found this resource.
The past month or two I've really gone to town trying to find good orchid forums that I can learn in. In addition to aosforum, I post on OrchidBoard and OrchidSource.

You may have noticed that I REALLY ask lots of questions. I love knowing how things work, and try to make sure I cover all my bases. I can't thank you guys enough for putting up with me! I try to be as considerate and open as I can.

I'm a Nursing/Music student in my third year of college. My first 2 1/2 years I was at a wonderful private college in SD where I started taking care of my first (and so far, biggest and healthiest!) orchid- a phalaenopsis I got from Costco by Kerry's Orchids.
I've now returned home to CO- Denver to get my act together and figure some stuff out.

I'm owned by two wonderful cats- one of which I brought home with me this Christmas from a shelter in SD.

I volunteer a lot at the Denver Botanic Gardens during the summer.

My other interests include: classical music, cats and orchids of course!, bettas and aquariums, and nature conservation.


My Orchid Collection:
5 phals- only one I have a tag for, I believe it is a miniature- 'Ping Tung Gold' (attached)
1 Epidendrum Ibaguense
1 Oncidium 'Twinkle' (attached)
1 Odont/Onc. Intergeneric

I'm a scavenger :P two of the phals and the intergeneric were saved from the trash at grocery stores.
