Hey, I just located this thread from November 2001
http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...ptusnet.com.au
Kye had this idea of asking rgo'ers to introduce themselves a bit. I think
this might be worthwhile to revisit with current posters (and any lurkers
who wish to participate).
Here are Kye's questions and my answers:
Who am I and What Is My Gender?
Joanna, guess
Where am I? Where do I grow?
Alexandria, Virginia (Washington DC area, USA) -- new US Citizen :-)
Windowsills and shelves of one and a half bedroom apartment (northern
exposure with supplemental grow lights)
What do I grow?
11 Phals/Dtps + 1 cochleanthes amazonica
The decade of my age?
30s
How long have I been growing orchids?
It will be 3 years in 2003. Got my first orchid as a wedding gift --
probably would not have gotten as hooked into the hobby if I had not
accidentally decapitated it a couple of weeks later. Remorse was a strong
initial driver. Then a keiki. Then reblooming. And then I became an addict.
I am beginning to feel the craving again ... DC Orchid Fair next weekend,
perfect timing!
My biggest orchid accomplishment(s)?
Getting 5 of my orchids to rebloom or initiate spike under my care so
far, and those that I have had long enough, have rebloomed more than once.
:-)
Miscellanious Info...
I am a Web application developer, working as a contractor for the
federal government (they closed 3 hours early today because of snow/ice). I
tend to get really excited by whatever my main passion of the
hour/day/month/year/decade is (orchids, crocheting, reading, Web searching,
etc.).
