Hello to all from the South West of England

[Ian]

Hi All,

My first post, to say hello. I have been growing a variety of orchids for quite a few years now here in the West Country of the U.K. but have recently decided to focus on paphs. 12 months in and I am sure I have made a good decision! Still a modest collection at present. I have already benefitted hugely from reading the posts on this forum, and I thought it was time to stop lurking and to contribute something. I am growing a mixture of Paph species and hybrids, but I must confess that it is the hybrids which really set my pulse racing whenever I see them. I will show three favourites currently in flower in the photo section if I can master the technology.

I look forward to future discussions!

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,
Welcome from Oz.
I too, recently joined after lurking for a year or more. And I've found the members, so far, to be incredibly helpful and refreshingly pleasant to noobs.
Cheers

Welcome from Canada! I like species myself but I have a few hybrids that I like as well. That's what it makes this forum great. There is something for everyone.
