New member!
Hi everyone! I've been lurking on here a while and finally plucked up the courage to join! I only found this forum by accident about 2 months ago and i didn't realise how many other Neo-nuts there were out there!
My name is Gareth, I live in south London, UK. I've been growing Neofinetia for about 12 years, the majority of my collection is cultivars of this species (in numbers, not space!) I had about 75 varieties at last count, and a few crosses of my own to add to the list, as soon as I have figured out how to post pics on here I will do so!
I recognise a few names on here, Lars Kurth from another forum I am a member of, and somewhere on here i have seen the name Shannan used? If it's the same lady I'm thinking of, I met her at the London Orchid show a few years back but I must apolagise to her, as I am very bad at keeping in touch!
Anyway, I look forward to trawling through the posts on here for many nights to come, and reading the new ones that pop up!
So a huge hello from chilly south London!
Gareth

Welcome to OB, Gareth! I hope, with your many years of experience growing these plants, that you can share info and growing tips with those of us who have only been growing these for a few years.
Looking forward to seeing photos of your collection.

Hi Gareth! Welcome to the OB! Yep there are several of us Neo-nuts here! I am one of them, but I just started a couple of years ago with the Neo's and I am just happy to have kept them alive this year. Next year I'll work on the blooms...lol.

Hello and welcome!
Nice to see someone else from the EU that is collecting different cultivars of this species!  It doesnt look like we are many. |

Welcome aboard Gareth. We Neoholics are few, but we are a happy few...a band of brothers... 
Looking forward to pics and some sage advice from your years of experience.
Cheers.

Thanks so much for the warm welcome everyone! I spent a little time looking at some older posts last night! you all have such great plants, and even some i have never seen before!
My collection suffered a little bit last in '09 due to lack of time to care for them, I didn't lose any (I don't think?) but a few look a little worse for ware. This year however they all seem to be getting back on track and are looking better!
I'm hoping I have managed to attach some pics of a part of my collection, I'm not used to this set up but I will keep my fingers crossed!
Gareth
