Hi y'all!

My name is Christoph, I currently live on the East Coast US with my wife and the baby and just recently came back to orchids.
Since Corona and the newborn forced me to work from home I started digging infos about the most beautiful flowers that exists.
I had many years ago a fair amount of flowers from Brazil and was into this hobby but moved away and my mother basically over-watered them until they where gone.

I do have a sweet spot for plumeria, banana plants and birds of paradise as well. Especially plumerias from Hawaii is a huge thing for me, wife and i got married over there.
The flowers are a huge contradiction with my other hobbies, triathlon and cars.
I grow several kind of chillies and tomatos and recently other herbs for the biggest hobby of all - food.

thats me, looking forward spending a lot of time here.
I have ordered many different orchids across the web and have some of them already here. I'm not 100percent sold on one species yet, although I love phals and Paphiopedliums, I have Vandas and others as well.








here are some of my favorite once, star power basic beauty is right now blooming with an impressive palm size bloom.

cheers
