Hello Female
Smile Hello
Hi!!!
I'm Doriana and I live in Italy.
I found out this forum on the web and i think it's very interesting.
I have been growing Orchids since March 2005. I started out with a Phalaenopsis, then I have got Dendrobiums, Cattleya and a Vanda. They are wonderful but my problem is .........I don't know their specific names!!!!
Does anybody tell me a good book on orchids nomenclature?

Cheers
Doriana

Welcome to the Orchid Board. Glad you were able to join. I don't know any good books on the subject of nomenclature, but you can begin familiarizing your self with Orchidaceae here :
Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia
If your plants came without name tags, then unfortunately it will be exceedingly difficult to identify their exact names. But at least you already have their genus names, which is the most important part because now you know how to take care of them.
Also, perhaps this link will help you get started.
