Hi from Devon

[seawall]

I have just joined the board and thought that I would introduce myself. I live in south Devon, not too far from Burnham Orchids, which is helpful! I have been keeping a few orchids for around 20 years.

As i don't have specialised facilities for keeping them I tend to be fairly careful about which ones I buy. My collection is mainly comprised of dendrobiums, but includes a few others, including a cymbidium rescued from a garden compost heap in Germany. This has shown its gratitude by still not flowering - the reason its exasperated former owner threw it there in the first place.

Anyhow, I'll be happy to exchange views with anyone who cares to get in touch. I don't pretend to be any sort of expert, just enthusiastic, and I do have a penchant for rescuing sorry looking specimens from garden centres!
