    Hello, Orchidfourm!
    I'm fairly new to owning orchids, only about a year now, but this will be my first jaunt into the community/forum aspect of the hobby. Outside of lurking for info at least. :p
    Currently in my crew I have three box store Phals and two rescue Cattleyas (technically three), with two more Catts and a Dendrobium on the way. And that's just the orchids! I've got a bunch of freeloaders slouching about on my grow rack for the winter, taking up space, but once those are relocated to a more permanent setup (soooon) I'm hoping to get many many more Cattleyas. Maybe a mount or two if I can find one that doesn't get too big.

    What do you guys currently have lurking in your grow space? Any fun little (or not so little) oddities?

    Can you explain how your thread subject pertains in any way to its content?

    It's just supposed to be a fun little intro title, since I'm from Iowa and 'ready to join the community', rather than the standard 'Hello from x' or whatever.

    NMarcellus, welcome to the Forum

    I have lots of oddities. The odder and weirder the better :). Many of our members like the obscure or uncommon genera which is one of the awesome things about this Forum.

    I've noticed. ^^
    I know I saw some cool catasetums while poking around.

    Welcome NMarcellus, I'm kind of the boring one around here. All of the others are the fun oddities...
