- - Hello (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/introductions-break-the-ice-/1669-hello.html)

Hello
I just decided to de-lurk and introduce myself. I have a few orchids various species and a couple hybrids. I have been growing for a few years now. I grow indoors under lights.

Recently, I just got into collecting species in the Stanhopea alliance which I'm pretty excited about. Here is Polycycnis barbata which I have been growing for a couple years now; this is from July. I think it is a pretty sensetive species. I dipped it in neem and it dropped its leaves; I repotted and it dropped its leaves.

"De-lurk" - I like that term. I hope you'll hang around and not re-lurk.
