Hello from the heights of Quito, Ecuador! Male
Smile Hello from the heights of Quito, Ecuador!

Hello everyone! A couple of years back I was in the south region of this beautiful country and orchid paradise which is Ecuador. I fell in love with orchids after taking part in a tour about them and I remember being so surprised and stocked about all the different kinds, shapes and colors orchids have.

When I returned home, I bought myself a masdevallia, but (and I will regret it till the last of my days) I didn't take good care of her and died after a few months.

Now, some years later, I want to experience that rewarding feeling that consists of seeing your own orchid grow and bloom, which everyone seems to be enjoying .

For that matter, I bought a masdevallia polysticta yesterday. With the help and advice you kind people share, I can expand my knowledge of orchid care and I'll do my best to keep this little fellow alive and healthy for as long as I can. (One of the leaves is covered in tiny black spots, oh boy, problems start here )
Doesn't matter, I think I found a new hobby

Welcome to the Orchid Board! It will be great hearing about your orchids.

If you haven't already, use the Search function in the top menu to look up your plant. There will probably be lots of information to read.

Hello! My son's Godfather is married to a lady from Quito. They frequently take trips there to visit her family. He is an Entomologist and constantly is exploring while there. I have had the pleasure of viewing many pictures and specimens he has collected on his expeditions. (He always gets proper permits etc... before any collecting.) He goes all over the country to work on a database related to butterflies. I only wish my fear of flying and lack of finances did not prevent my accepting many invitations to come along on these trips. Some day my husband may have to drug me, then I can just wake up in Ecuador. I guess he would probably be arrested for doing so - maybe that is not the best way to plan the trip!
