Hello everyone!

[EcoNative]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jules and I have been a long time lurker of these forums and finally decided to join. I'm relatively new to slipper orchids and have only worked with cyps in my garden so far (I have a few pictures I'll share later). Anyways, I thought I'd expand my horizons and learn about all the variety of species out there and expand my outdoor garden but also attempt to begin an indoor orchid collection (although I'm nervous as I have a tendency to kill my indoor orchids in the past :S). I hope to be posting around here more often and learn a lot on the way.

don't forget, they say you don't become an orchid expert until you kill your weight in orchids

Another welcome from Beantown. If you can grow Cyp's successfully in your garden you can certainly succeed indoors with slippers.

I'm a newbie and I'm learning a lot from this site. I'll be getting some Cypripedium Gisela's this spring from the Gardens at Post Hill.
