Hello from New York

[RNCollins]

Hello! I just this year started growing Paphs. I have the following:

Paph. Pedro's Moon
Paph. Lynleigh Koopowitz
Paph. Hung Sheng Curtisii
Paph. Hilo Green #3 x Hsinying Yosemite 'Full Moon'

None of the Paphs I purchased were in bloom, so part of the challenge (and fun) will be getting them to bloom. I joined my local orchid society and AOS. I've gotten from Amazon.com a few books about slipper orchids and orchids in general. I also have a few Phals, Cattleyas, a Cymbidium, and a Masdevallia. I look forward to the annual spring Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, NYC. I'm glad to join Slippertalk to learn more about the slipper orchids.

Hi Trithor,
Thanks for the welcome. I was in South Africa two years ago viewing the spring wildflowers in Namaqualand. You have a beautiful country.

Welcome Carol, glad you joined us and an OS as well. Warm welcomes are needed when it's so cold across most of the country!
