Thank you for the advice. I appreciate you presenting the wardian case as an option as it was not something I looked greatly into. I do wish I had the space for a deli fridge as I did see a used one for sale for pretty cheap! Also congratulations on your AOS membership anniversary!

@big923cattleya & @Djthomp28 thank you both for sharing your advice with joining the AOS. I will certainly look into membership - the magazine database sounds very enticing. For the time being, I already have a beverage fridge on hand hence my interest. I also do not believe I could...

Hi Everyone, I just received this orchid from a relatively well known eBay seller and it has some brown spots on its leaves. I’m not sure if this is sun damage or perhaps water was left on the leaf for an extended time? Does anyone have any idea if this is just cosmetic or is it something more...

I did a forum search and I guess we are in the same city!

Hi everyone! I have been a longtime lurker of this forum and finally decided I should just make an account. I have only grown orchids for the past 5 years (primarily Disas, Phals, and a handful of Phrags) but I've recently gotten into paphs. My family comes from the border of...
