Hi everybody! I'm new here!
 

Hello everyone! :hello:hello :biggrin:
My name's Roberto (call me Rob), I'm 20 and I live in Cagliari, a small city in Sardinia, southern Italy.

I've been growing orchids for about two years, my favorite and successful genus is Phalaenopsis. For the time being I've got few orchids but their number is constantly increasing in an apparent unstoppable way, in spite of my never-ending lack of money and free space!:(

If you're interested you can find all the infos about my babies at Le Sbrindrille di Robe - Home, my little web site where I manage to gather all the photos, cultivation notes and all the infos about my orchids (that I dearly and univocally call "sbrindrilles"). :blushing:

Then.. what else about me?? :scratchhead:

oh, yes... two more things:
My web site is, for the moment, utterly in Italian. I'd like to translate it but I can't really find the time to do it... so good luck! At least photos are an universal language! :biggrin:
Last thing: I try to do my really best with English but I'm perfectly aware it is incredibly lacking... :( I hope you'll bear it and help me with it.

Now let some of my photos talk in my place! :biggrin:

Welcome to Orchid Board Rob :welcome:

Your english seems really good and I would not have realised it was not your first language unless you had said. I don't think you have anything to worry about there. :biggrin:

Your orchids look wonderful :drool:

Thank you Mike!
You're right: the whole world seems to be here and this is great! :biggrin:


Thank you Becca, I'm really glad you enjoyed!


Hi Rosie! You're too kind... I sincerely try to do my best with orchids and English and every time someone appreciates I see it as a boost to do better and better!
So... thank you! :bowing:bowing

:welcome: Rob! :waving
You have such a nice collection! I love you Phal lobbi x parishii, (called Phal Lovely Kid) it has so many blooms. I have parishii, but it didn't make that many blooms.
I looked at your website, and I really like your growing residenza. And you have some truely wonderful looking blooms!

Welcome to the OB. Rob, your pictures are wonderful!

Merci Camille!!! :D
You got it, Lovely Kid is a true explosion and not only of flowers! As soon as it lost the last flower all the roots started to grow again and just in these days a new tiny leaf is coming up! :biggrin:
That's a mere pride!!! :dance13::dance13:

Thank you for visiting my website and for enjoying it! :waving

Welcome to the Orchid Board Rob!! This is a fantastic site.
You have beautiful collection of chids!

Your English is perfectly fine. Much better than some people whose first language is English!

:winner: the parishii. I can see a face on 1 of the flowers. It's a bearded guy with a white hat and dark sunglasses.

Everything else is tied for :2ndplace:. They are all very nice, and you did a great job with the :photo:
