Hello from Maryland!

[magnoliasplanties]

Hi my name is Maggie and i'm from Maryland. I got into orchids in the beginning of 2019 and discovered my love for paphs last year. Ive been able to make one of my paphs bloom this past year which is exciting! I currently have 7 paphs in total and grow them in my apartment under grow lights on an Ikea shelf. I know I will be getting more this coming year, theres just so many beautiful orchids out there! excited to be here and learn all that I can
Happy new year everyone!

You can never have to many paphs.
Welcome from Kentucky!

Welcome! Which part of MD? I used to live in Cheverly, but am now at the other end of the Orange Line in NoVA- Fairfax Cty.

I live dangerously close, 10-15 minutes, to Orchids For You (in Vienna VA).

Sorry, I was thinking of Kensington Orchids. It was owned and operated by the late Merritt Huntington. I had the pleasure many years ago of meeting him at his greenhouses!

Welcome, Maggie.

I'm in NC now, but grew up in DC, and my wife is from Camp Springs, but she went to the U of MD Med School in Baltimore, so we're pretty familiar with the area.

I've only been there once since the pandemic started, posted in my Misc'l Stuff thread. You have to make arrangements for in-person visit. If you like Phrags you can go crazy there.
