My first Den!

[digimom]

So now I have the Orchid bug and I have my first Den among 3 Phals.




I was so excited that I didn't notice until I got home that there was no name tag, only a tag from the nursery it came from...so is there any way to find out the name just by looking at it??? I didn't go there looking to buy I Dendrobium, I was actually looking for a Lady Slipper but it called out to me and I had to take it home

So I have been doing a little bit of reading through the forums... and is there any way to tell if this is a Dendrobium Nobile, Den. Phalaenopsis or den. Bigibbum??

Sure, check out Murray's thread on WHAT KIND DO I HAVE. That should help!

Cheers,
BD

It's a beauty, it would have called me too! Nice purchase.

Thanks !! I have fallen madly in love with Orchids in just over a week lol! Who knew?? I have lots and lots of reading to do now... BD gave me a link to one of Murray's threads that is proving very informative Every one is so nice and friendly here, I have to say again I am so glad I found this forum.

Now, lets watch the bank account meeter nose dive... :P

Lisa I'll go out on a limb and say it's new growers like yourself that keep die hards returning to places like OrchidTalk. I just relived my first couple of orchid purchase.

Thank you,
BC

Thanks Paul! Yes now I have to stop...but there was a baby catt I saw that was beautiful...no ..must stop lol.

So does my Den need the same kind of ventilation as the Phals?... I read they are happy in moist but not wet medium
