Hallo' there fellow orchidmaniacs

Not very talented to talk about myself, so... ^_^
I've been raising orchids for quite a long time, I reckon : 1990, when I was still a College chick. It was quite a mess at first, in my very small student flat. None survived from this era, obviously. But things get better with time, don't they? I grow them now in a somewhat victorian winter garden, in a very old house in South of France.
Many whimsical Phalaenopsis, some Cattleyas and Dendrobiums, quite a bunch of Cymbidiums, some this and that, and my big-big faves: Coelogynes and Neofinetia (Vanda... what? ) falcata. The challenges are still a headache in this kind of growing space, but then... that's the fun of it, maybe?
Still learning, still growing

Off with me, and on with the real interesting stuff : orchids, of course!

Welcome!

As for learning, it lasts a lifetime... for me, that is precisely what I love so much about orchids, there is always more to discover.
