Thank you so much, Carolla....and what a touching story about your wedding orchid. 38 years..wow.....so sorry to hear about that precious Phal - that had to be a tough one . Still, many congrats on 38 yrs of marriage! I suspect, if I can have good results with my first Phal, I will buy another Phal and work in that realm for quite awhile. I clearly have sooooo much to learn about orchids. I am so blown away when I read members' posts of so many, many, many types of orchids, many of which I am uncertain how to even pronounce their names....yes, the names are even intimidating at this point, let alone trying to grow that specific orchid I guess such a huge variety (which I never realized existed) and the varying challenges is widely appealing to me. My husband calls me an "Infomaniac", never tiring to learn about everything and anything. I would not say everything, but I certainly enjoy gardening...and am excited to discover this new, foreign world of orchids!
