I just searched for "Bulgaria" and found it mentioned five or so times throughout the forum!

So hi! I'm very passionate about plants and especially orchids, but I'm also poor

so I can't afford a big collection. Furthermore, I'll be moving to a college dorm so I have no idea how that will work out for the plants I DO have. Something more unheard to mention is that I also grow M. Pudicas- "sensitive plant", folds its leaves when touched, lovely pink flowers. I have a bit of a confession- I took two bulbs from the forest this spring- they're unprotected species and yes, we have orchids, which form underground bulbs to last the dry summer and harsh winter. In fact, we have another word for the Orchidaceae family- the Salep family. Salep means testеs in Greek

Orchids are named this way, because of the shapes of the bulbs of the native species...
