Hi!! New frenchie

[orion57]

Hello !!!
I am Sandrine from France.
I am here to improve my english, and my knowledge about orchids too.

I have about 50 orchids at home, botanicals, hybrids, phals, dendrobiums, epidendrums, oncidiums, "cambria"...

I live in North east of France near the city called Metz, so winter is cold, until -20°C, and summer can be really hot (40°C), even this year was weird (today 4°C at 7am!!), I hope late summer will come soon.

My botanicals are in a "Balcony" with 2*55W turbo neon, ventilation and heating (not for the moment)

Hope I can find here all informations I am looking for!

Bienvenue to OB fellow french person!! I am from Lyon (well, the 'beaujolais vert' to be precise), much further south, but it's chilly there too now. You'll see, OB is really fun. I spend more time here than on the french forums! Do you have pictures of your grow area and of your orchids? We love here! Don't hesitate to post any questions you may have, there will always be some one to help you.

Thank you !!

I have pictures at home, right now I am at work...
I will post them as soon as possible.

The french forums are also very helpful, and quite fun too!!

But the more I read, the more I will know about orchids

Hi Sandrine,

Welcome to the OB.
I've been a member only for a few weeks but I enjoy it a lot. Tons of really good tips and pictures to help you grow your beloved orchids.
Enjoy !

Hi Sandrine,

Welcome to the OB! It's nice having someone from another part of the planet from where I live here with us.

I'm looking forward to seeing photos from your collection and to interacting with you in the forums. I'm sure that there is a lot we can learn from one another.

Have fun while you are here.
