Greetings from Prague

[Anguola]

Dear orchid fans,

I am a passionate about these plants as you do, because I find them mysterious and there is always something in them that amazes me every time.
I wish you a lot of success with your favourites and that they bring you a lot of delight.
Greetings from Prague,

I am Czech originally, lived there till I was 26, and than left to the USA, where I am living already over 11 years:-) I admire all Czech friends, I do remember how hard it was to make them thrive at the old times, thanks God for all these new hybrids, nowadays it is pretty easy at least with some, like Phals, even my mom can keep them alive and they are blooming for here every year, even when she is here in the states for 3 months and my sis takes care of them -or does she:-) My sis has absolutely no green thumb what so ever, but mom told me, that her Phals were blooming when she left this year in February to be with us here, and when she came back end of may, they were still blooming:-) my cousin in Prague has over 30 Phals in her house, inside on the windows, no winter garden, and they are blooming like crazy:-) May I ask, what do you have in your collection of orchids?

[Anguola]

Hallo TOMMYMIAMI,

yes, Phalaenopsis are very easy to cultivate. I like very much Dendrobiums (as I manage to make them reflower in one year) and other orchids like Anguloas. I like also those that have interesting shape or colour of their blossoms. Also I prefer those orchids that have nice smell.
These are the orchid genera I try to cultivate: Anguloa, Dendrobium, Brassia, Bulbophylum, Catasetum, Gongora, Miltoniopsis, Rhynchostylis, Vanda, Zygopetalum
What kind of genera do you cultivate?
Have a lovely week,

Milada

I have never heard about Anguloas, so I checked it, very nice, also like Rhynchostylis, do not have any, and Zygopetalum as well. Do you grow in Winter Garden, or Green house, or in the house only? Any pics of your babies in bloom. I must say this is amazing collection you have for Czech Republic, none of my friends go beyond Phals and Dendrobs in Czech:-)))) Great Work!
