New here, Gina from Munich

[Lycaste53]

Hi,
I´m new here. My name is Gina (short version of Regina, sounds nicer in english), living in Munich, (a 57 years silverager) taking care for about 800 orchids, 100 cacti and some other plants, and a garden too.
I would like to join you here to learn more about orchid cultivation around the world and to exercise english language. Hope I will not do too much misspellings and errors and to be able to contribute some nice pictures of my plants.
Coming back home at the moment, having bought a new camera with macro.
Please tell me, when I do some faults, this might happen, in language, in taxonomy and what else

Best regards from Munich,
Gina

Hi Gina!

We all speak dowiana here, I think (even though it lacks a pouch).

 

[SlipperFan]

Welcome, Gina! Dowiana's lip is one of The most fantastic of all orchids!

But 800 orchids plus 100 cactii? I thought I was addicted with 500 + orchids. Do you have a greenhouse?

Thanks to all of you ,
@ Jean Lux:
Slippertalk and dowiana? I hope quality fits quality.
@ SlipperFan:
When I reached at 500+ plants inside the house, I started an expansion of about 50 sqm. A ´Wintergarten´ was built, first I thougt it should be a living area for both us, people and plants, but I was wrong…


And there are some Paph´s (28) Phrag´s (11) and Cyp´s (12) around

Best regards, Gina
