Hilariously, I was always afraid to buy an orchid from Home Depot or Walmart, etc. because I didn't know how to take care of the things. After lurking on the orchid forum of a large gardening website for about six months, I bought my first orchids from a grower's greenhouse last March. I was able to get lots of information from the grower as to how to take care of them. Plus it's heavenly just to walk around their greenhouses, especially in the winter, and take in the tropical atmosphere. Yummy.

I recently joined our local Orchid Society and also the AOS. I went to my first orchid show in Edmonton last month. I found this website a couple months ago, I think thanks to Toddybear. Now my orchid "room" has a humidifer, a fan and I'm thinking of adding a three-tiered grow light system because I talked the hubby into removing the futon-bed that was in the room and there's space... After one year of collecting, I own 32 orchids and can't imagine stopping now...
