Hi from Germany

Hi folks,

just joined today and would like to say hello from Wuppertal, Germany. My main interest - concerning orchids - are natural species of the Aeridinae, and Neofinetia and its hybrids.

thats what say also.

I dont have many orchids hehe just one or two
sometimes I buy new orchids.. some times I see the orchid doctor hehe

anyway I like your setup looks like alot of planing and time has gone into that to make your vitrine look so nice.

Congrats

thanks for sharing that with us

Hi Fred,

the planning took not very much time - the size of the vitrine was limited by the size of the window where it stands. Right now, I think I should have purchased a higher one than mere 1,2 m...

But the positions of the plants are still being optimized. Today, I shifted the two Chiloschistas from the middle and back to the front and top, means brighter and warmer. I have been constantly rearranging the plants since I got the vitrine last August, hehe

And you are absolutely right, it is necessary to see the orchid doctor sometimes, even if he sends only a neat little package

Hi and welcome to the forum.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius

Hellmuth,

You have a nice, long list there...about as long a mine, which changes so often. LOL
