Hi everyone!
I've been a lurker on this forum for a while now, but it's probably time to say hello to all of you
My name is Alena, I am an orchid grower with about one and a half years of experience, I started with having a couple of hybrid phals (as many of us probably do) and now I am "crazy" enough to be looking at buying expensive awarded clones
Cattleyas and laelias are favorites in my collection, I also grow some paphiopedilums, trichopilias, catasetinae and am planning to get a few lycaste orchids from Japan soon. The most tricky thing for me here is to provide all these different plants with conditions they require having just two west-side windows
But I am doing my best!
This forum and you all have helped me to learn a lot so far, thank you very much for this
