Hello

[MaryPientka]

Hello, I live in Saratoga Springs, New York. I grow Paph Parvisepalum orchids on my window sill. I have a southeast exposure which seems to work fairly well with the help of a sheer curtain. I'm always grateful for help and enjoy reading posts, especially those with suggestions for alternate methods of growing orchids.

Welcome from Missouri! Watch out, when I joined I only had about 40 plants. It's more than doubled in a few months... There's a wealth of information and people willing to share their experiences, experiments, trials, successes, failures, pictures and plants!

 

[MaryPientka]

Thank you!

Whereabouts?

 

[MaryPientka]

Initially E87th, Manhattan, most recently Astoria. I truly miss the NYBG.

 

[NYEric]

Upper East side, not for me. I did however live on Crescent in Astoria. Luckily it was before I discovered places to get good Backlava and Melomekarones!!! Otherwise I might still be there and 30 pounds heavier!

I lived on 35th near Ditmars, and you're makin me hungry. LOL

 

[NYEric]

I know the area well, LOL.
