Hi, I'm from Essex in England. I have four orchids passed on to me when my Grandfather died. I am very new to orchids. I used to admire his orchids but now really wish I had asked him how he cared for them.
I'm struggling with them! Got a few books to help me, but came across this forum, so starting asking for help straight away!
The biggest struggle is my Vanda, Blue Magic. For such a pretty orchid, it get grumpty easily! Trying my best with it!

Oh great. Well when they talk about different climates for different orchids, I'll ask you! ;-)

Hi Poppy***, I just noticed the location. I have worked with and known many expatriates of the UK. Good luck with the orchids. D-D-
