New one from Germany

Your orchids are quite impressive!
They aren't the common ones most start with.
You must like a challenge

Hi Dorothy,

it's not a challenge.

Those orchids more or less ran into me and I granted them asylum.

And they are easily to grow in our (German) climate, because during summer the Nepali climate is very similar to ours.
In winter they move to a greenhouse (winter garden).

Aboard Harry, it's great that you have joined the OB. Your gallery is phenomenal. I am sure you will be sharing in your growing experiences.

Hi,

I haven't looked up the board for a while.

Thanks for your kind comments.

My collection is a bit "off the beaten track". I only collect species that grow in Nepal.

Read you again.

Hallo Harry,

Wie geht es Ihnen? Grüße von Amerika, bin ich zu einem Deutschen seit 1985 verbunden worden. Wir wohnen in West Virginia. Diese Web site wird mit Informationen gefüllt und die Leute sind sehr freundlich.

Hello DougD,

thanks for your very friendly posting in my native tongue.
Let me tell you that your German is much better than my English.

Your home state West Virginia reminds me of John Denver's "Country Road" with Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah.
Sounds like a spot where one can feel home.

Hope to hear from you again.

Harry

Hi Harry,

West Virginia is similiar to the Taunus Mountains. I still have family in Ruesselheim and Oberrusel.

Hello DougD,

what a coincidence!

When I reach out I almost can touch Taunus Mountains.
And to Ruesselsheim and Oberursel it is easy to spit from my home.

I live just 30 miles north of Oberursel. If you have a map of this area, you will find Weilburg on river Lahn.
