My name is Johanne- or Joanna to my English speaking friends and family.
I live in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and recently I've started growing orchids again after a longer break and completely fallen in love with the genus Phragmipedium. Thus the reason I wanted to join Slippertalk to learn more about my favorite orchids, as well as to learn about other favorites like Paphs. For me slippers are real orchids
like the ones I admired in gardening books as a child and now I'm growing them myself. Very addictive.
For a long time one of my favorite orchids was the Phragmipedium besseae but I was afraid of getting one. Well in March I finally went for it and now it's reblooming YAY lol.
Another orchidfriend and Phragophile introduced med to Phrag. kovachii and it's hybrids. So far that has proven to be a very expensive friendship :drool:
My collection is still very limited, but I love what I've managed to find so far:
Of slippers I have:
Phragmipedium besseae, Phrag. schliemi, Phrag. caudatum and waiting for a Phrag. besseae Flava and a Phrag. Jason Fisher to arrive by post from Wubben Orchids in Germany. One of the few, to my knowledge, orchid vendors in Europe with a decent selection of Phragmipediums.
I also have a Phragmipedium Calurum and 3 young kovachii hybrids; Andean Tears, Eumelia Aries and Peruflora's Angel (x richteri) as well as a Living Fire.
I only have two Paphs and so far have only had limited success with these. I have an Paph. appletonianum x wolterianum and a Paph. DePerle. I want to get more though
I have other orchids and I love them all. But slippers and Cattleyas are my favorites :clap:
Hopefully we will have some nice orchid discussions
