Talking Hello!
Hi guys! I've beed reading the boards for a couple of days and you seem like a friendly bunch so I thought I'd finally introduce myself. I've always loved plants but I'm very new to orchids, had a couple of Phals before which I now realise I drowned (surprise, surprise).

At the moment I only have a Phal which my boyfriend gave me for Chrstmas and which I'm determined not to kill and a so-called Cambria 'Nelly Isler' which was half dead and reduced to clear when I bought it and which now looks much better and has a new half-grown spike and a couple of more forming I also have a a Cattleya and an Ascosenda on their way from Germany and I'm planning on going to an orchid show next weekend. These guys are addictive

Anyway, I'm looking forwad to talking to you all and finding as much information as I can to make sure my 'chids are thriving!

Thank you for the welcome, guys!

I'm promising myself I'll be sensible at the show and mostly stock up on essential supplies but I suspect it will be difficult not get a plant as well

Ascda. is the one I'm a little nervous about so I've been reading as much info about them as I can. I picked a Princess Mikasa Blue because I think they are the hardier of the lot? The website that I ordered it from says it's in a pot so I'll have to see how to grow it once it's here. I have a huge bay window facing SW (I think) so lots and lots of light there. Plus some large plants and a fish tank keeping the air a little more humid so I'm hoping it'll be a good place to start

The Cattleya is gaskelliana alba which I just adore the look of.

Welcome to the board Elena.

I'm also located within EU and curious about your supplier, could you send me the link?
Not that I'm planning on ordering any orchids or anything...

Hiya! I ordered from www.orchideenwlodarczyk.de I'm yet to receive my order so don't know what their plants are like but I found the link through UK Orchid Forum - Including resources for the EU :: Index (I hope it's ok to post?). It's not as busy as these boards but they have a very extensive list of EU suppliers which you might find useful
