Finally found a great orchidsite..

[JPB]

Hi All,

When browsing the net for info on artifical light, I stumbled on this site. Lots of great info here!

I grow a very small collection of orchids for some time now. Mainly Bulbophyllums (I like those, for some reason..... ), but my collection of Pleiones is steadily growing for the last few years. Coelogynes are being added at the moment.

I grow plants since my childhood. Mainly non-orchids, but orchids have always intrigued me.

Years ago, I was into science, have a PhD+ in botany (ecophysiology; biogeography; phylogenetics), but now my main interest is simply growing special plants.

Nice to be here!

Regards,
Hans

Glad you like this forum, it's the best place to be! Do you have of your orchids? Everyone loves to see pictures here. Where are you from in NL? I'm from France, but study in Wageningen. Great place.

Does it work? Pleione grandiflora (pink form), also known as Pleione x barbarae.

I'm in the northern part of Holland (Drenthe).

cheers, Hans
