hi from dusseldorf
hi all,
new orchid grower here, an american expat in germany. i have been a fanatic houseplant grower for 20 years, but just recently really got stoked on orchids! my girlfriend and i have started a modest "collection", mostly a few phals and now ordered about 3 to 4 new species. she is an excellent grower and has a couple phals that have bloomed for her over the past couple years, so i hope i don't destroy everything by being over active with the orchids!
thanks in advance for any help folks offer in the future  happy growing, ya'll!

thanks for the welcome folks! ha, this is truly an addiction, isn't it? i might have bought a couple more this weekend. a vanilla, a mini mark, and then a mystery plant! hahah, and yeah, not really knowing what species you are buying ahead of time makes things interesting!
i have a dracula i am trying to keep going by basically converting my bathroom into a cold room. and a holcoglossum mounted on a board. it's gonna be an interesting journey into the orchid world

Schwerter. I had good luck with them on my first order so I figured why not!
I did get a Bear King from them that has a yellow leaf and that is a bit concerning, but otherwise great. And I got a bunch of pots and substrate and everything is just as expected. Spose the get the order today, so maybe I’ll follow up with some pics.
