I've Been Creating Orchid Update Posts ..

For quite some time now. I really enjoy buying, caring for, and watching them grow. The payoff for all the hard work and patients is the moment when the flower buds open and fill our home with color and warmth.

After a little thought and contemplation, and a little suggestion from @creativemary, I decided Why Not?! Why Not create a community for those who LOVE Orchids! So I did just that and am excited to see where this goes.

I am not sure if it will amount to much, but I am really interested in meeting others who share the passion or who just love the unique beauty of Orchids.

As you can see, I have a Orchid addiction and can not leave the store without taking one of these beauties home.. Primarily Phalaenopsis

Why An Orchid Community ..

This community was established as a place for Orchid Lovers to post about Orchids. The community is also a place for individuals, who have an interest in Orchids, to interact with others having the same passion.

The Orchid Family of Flowering Plants ..

Is one of the two largest families known to exist. I believe there are over 28,000 species now documented!

Another Reason for creating this community.. Was so it could be utilized as a learning tool. I am, and quite possible many others are only armatures when it comes to Orchids, and I am looking to expand on that simple knowledge of these delicate plants. I think a community, with a primary focus on Orchids, could help with this goal of learning more about Orchids.

Orchidaceae, aka Orchids.. Are sometimes labeled as "hard to care for", and get thrown away in disgust by frustrated plant owners. Hopefully, we as a community, can change that opinion.

Orchids are a sensitive family of flowering plants.. But with the proper love and care from us humans, they can brighten our living spaces and bring a sense of calm to our environments.. not to mention their stunningly beautiful flowers!

The Rules..

We can't let the rules go un-mentioned. I think to keep the community grounded to why it was created in the first place, a few rules needed to be put into place. Like all rules, they will evolve and may change as interest grows and I receive feedback on what direction this should go.

The Rules Are As Follows:
1 - Posts primarily about Orchids, aka Phalaenopsis
2 - Cross Posting of posts that are primarily about Orchids is allowed
3 - No NSFW posts about Orchids please (hey, you never know)
4 - No Spam
5 - No Plagiarism
6 - Have Fun and Enjoy the Orchid Show!!

My Little But Growing Family Of Orchids ..

I've posted plenty about my Orchids, and these posts can be found scattered throughout my feed. I am happy to now have a home for those posts, and hopefully spark some excitement for those who admire these fantastic plants.

I am sure it won't be long until I am buying another Orchid. I really haven't done so since Pepper, my Orchid buddy, passed away. The excitement I had shared with him, and my memory of his unusual curiosity of these plants, crumbled and took a back seat after his death. I am looking to revive that excitement.

With Every Post About Orchids.. That I create or read here in this new community, will bring back those lovely memories and let them live strong for years to come. I hope a few of you out there will help me out with that and keep the memories alive.

“Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.”

Thanks for the upvote. I post about orchids a lot - mostly orchids that I find out in the bush. Here down under we have something like 1700 species growing wild - I have seen maybe 100 of them. But I see them every week.

I just saw this community. I'll have to do a post about our plants soon.

Oh cool! No pressure, but it’s always nice to see new people posting about their plants and what not. Look forward to seeing one sometime. Like I said though, no pressure. If you feel like it post some thing if not no big deal. Have a great Sunday!

I don't like to flood my feed, so I'll do one when I don't have much else going on. Always useful to have alternative themes to post about.

Wow! You have so many pots of orchids in your house! You are a real orchid addict!! LoL
You doggie was a good judge or inspector of orchid standard! His house work on orchids would be sadly missed!

All the best with your new project.

Thank you! If you ever write a post about Orchids, think of us! I have an addiction for certain 😁

Okay! I will have to hunt for some orchid photos first! LoL

Yessss!!!!!
Orchid Lovers!!

YES!!!! 😁 Now if only there are other Orchid Lover's out there. And not to mention I know nothing about running a community.. yikes. I may be calling on you for advice. 😊 But then again, If I end up being the only one posting there, then it doesn't matter.. It's a pretty niche thing maybe. We'll see.

Thank you for the Qurator curation! I appreciate the support. You've always been kind to me by supporting my work. Thank you 😊

Maybe they are there, just hiding :P

If you need help, just scream :))

Yes, I will definitely join :D I have few orchids in my home but they are not giving flowers this year but I admire orchids a lot...

AWESOME!!! Looking forward to it. Thank you for joining and don't worry, it will flower when the time is right. Don't over water, no direct sun, and a warm spot free of wind and you may help it to bloom. Try moving it to another spot maybe. 😁 Give Gigi a hug from me!

Yaaaaay! Finally! I am so happy, I will join.
No NSFW posts about Orchids please (hey, you never know)

Hahahahha, this was a good one!

Sweet!!! See you there 😁

I can only imagine what someone would do with an orchid and then post about it.. I've seen some weird stuff posted around this chain. Weird stuff 😆 People never cease to amaze me.

I joined, I saw a post, so ahmazing, I am sure that this community will bloom😍

Nice one pal and the picture with Pepper certainly helps draw attention to the thumbnail!

Hahaha.. Your On To Me!! Eye candy to us dog lovers for sure!. Thanks for checking it out and for the support. Trying my hand at starting a community where there is none, and where I have a little passion in. It's a learning experience for sure. I don't have any heavy curation power, but maybe it will gain a little attention from someone later on. We'll see. Tell Nadi Hello from Molly!

Very cool! I hope you get some takers on this. It would be cool to have a community that can help and support each other. If it was more of a general gardening community I would probably join up. Orchids seem a bit out of my league though!

I thought about a general plant/gardening community, but there are a couple and I figured why piss them off.. I decided to go more niche with it. More manageable this way too. hehe. Thanks for commenting and you better subscribe regardless!!! haha just kidding obviously. We'll see how it goes.

Hi. I am joining. Thank you for this initiative. It took a lot of courage to start a community without quite knowing how to do so but your passion I am sure will see you through. I don't have much orchids to show but who knows. Knowing this community is here will make me more enthusiastic to photograph orchids. More power to you and please expect my maiden post very soon.

Hi!! Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment. Yes!! Please take some photos next time you see Orchids and drop a post here. I would be excited to see them. Also, thank you for the compliments and the encouraging words. It will be a very niche community, but who knows.. maybe there are more Orchid lovers out there than I think there are.

Look forward to your maiden post 😁

Whoa, that was fast. Thank you for your very warm welcome to the community! I already feel like family.

I actually took some photos already and am working on finishing the post before I sign off tonight. Not so sure of our time difference but it's 11:35pm now in my country, Philippines. Since I think we are ahead of most countries above us (Australia and New Zealand times are ahead of us, them being below us), you could be reading my post just after lunch, your time.

I am sure there are millions of orchid lovers out there. It's just a matter of letting them know our community exists. I for one will be spreading the word around.

Looking forward to more posts and members.

Manually curated by EwkaW from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

Good luck with your community!
I will delegate some in a few minutes, and I'll join in!
Again, good luck and more power to you @bdmillergallery!

I've only just discovered this community. @ewkaw mentioned there was one, but I haven't joined until today. Now that I found it, I'll do my best to post here every now and again :)

I love your orange Phal. Very unusual colour. Pepper looks so adorable. Bless his heart 💙
