Hi Guys
Im located in the South African highveld/ Pretoria
I have been growing orchids since 2016 August.
Currently have over 200 in my collection.
I grow everything from Ascocentrum to Zygopetalum but especially love Stanhopea and Acineta.
I have installed a wetwall in order to grow Dracula and Masdevallia
I also enjoy growing indigenous South African bulbs/ geophytes and love hiking and nature in general.
Hope to learn alot from the collective experience on this forum.
Regards
Yusuf

Thank you

Welcome to the Orchid Board!

I have a number of winter-rainfall S African bulbs.

Welcome, I look forward to pics of your natives!
The first thing you'll need to do to post pics is post a few more times. You need to have made 5 posts before you can add pics iirc.
