Hello!

I never thought that I would get hooked on orchids, but now I've bought 5 orchids in one week... Oh god, I'm glad I realized how beautiful and fascinating these plants are.

So far all five orchids are Phalaenopsis, though I plan to get a Vanda next month. I'm still pondering about where to put my Phals. I have a south and a north window. Two Phals seem to like the southern windowsill, the other buds are all opening. The three on the northern windowsill are opening their buds, too, but I'm unsure how they will cope in the following months, also the Phals in my sleeping room (southern exposure). I plan to put all of my Phals to the northern window, which is huge and bright. Would it still be too dark? I live in Germany, so the winter months can be quite gloomy.

I'm looking forward to the time here on Orchidboard, to many discussions and nice photos.

Yours, Izobel
