Hello and hi there.

[Lord_Paph]

Hello everyone. My name is Brant and I just joined this lovely group after purchasing my first Paph orchid a few days ago. It is a named orchid, Paph Pink Pops (cross between Magic Pops 'Blushing Magenta' X Raisin Magic 'Pink Skies.') I can honestly say, that I am in love, after purchasing this Paph. I would love more but will be waiting to see how I do with this one before I proceed to by more.

A little about me. I'm 25 and recently relocated to Raleigh North Carolina. I love shopping, acting, singing, dancing, gardening, and all things Disney. I get compared a lot to Mitchell from Modern Family and Kurt from Glee. I take those comparisons as compliments.

I look forward to learning as much as I can about these beautiful orchids and making some orchid friends.

Hi there Brant. Welcome from South Africa. You are going to have to buy a few more paphs to get them to grow, paphs are sociable animals and need company!

Welcome from TN Lord Paph

There's lots of good Paph action in NC so you have lots of reasonably close company to feed the addiction.

Welcome from San Francisco, Lord_Paph! you are going to have fun here!

How is your new Paph today? Send us a picture!
Be sure not to overwater, underwater (crazy yet?) and be sure not to get it too near any direct sun other than earlyish in the morning. We all killed some early Paphs, so don't worry if you have trouble with your very first. We are here to help. No question is "wrong" here.
