Finally found a great orchidsite..
 

Hi All,

When browsing the net for info on artifical light, I stumbled on this site. Lots of great info here!

I grow a very small collection of orchids for some time now. Mainly Bulbophyllums (I like those, for some reason.....:scratchhead: ), but my collection of Pleiones is steadily growing for the last few years. Coelogynes are being added at the moment.

I grow plants since my childhood. Mainly non-orchids, but orchids have always intrigued me.

Years ago, I was into science, have a PhD+ in botany (ecophysiology; biogeography; phylogenetics), but now my main interest is simply growing special plants.

Nice to be here!

Regards,
Hans

:welcome: to Orchidboard!
Glad you like this forum, it's the best place to be! Do you have :photo: of your orchids? Everyone loves to see pictures here. :) Where are you from in NL? I'm from France, but study in Wageningen. Great place.

Does it work? Pleione grandiflora (pink form), also known as Pleione x barbarae.

I'm in the northern part of Holland (Drenthe).

cheers, Hans
