It´s about time to intruduce myself

[Mrs Sunshine]

Hello everyone,
I´ve been here looking around for a couple of months, but never came around to intruduce myself, commented on a photo, and fibre reminded me.

So, I´m Malin from Sweden, started growing orchids in a bigger scale than most people about 4 or 5 years ago.
I have to vivarums and two nanovivarums with some Restrepias, Bulbophyllum, Leptotes, Neos, Aerangis, Dendrobiums, Platystele, Stelis to mention some of them.
But Paphiopedilum makes my heart bounce a bit more than anything else.
To date I have about 50 hybrids and spieces, mostly from Paphiopedilum and Parvisepalum section, and some from Bracy section.
I grow mostly of my orchids in the basement with extra light (offcourse) good aircirculation and the temperatures are between 64-71F.

I´m here to learn more, to get inspired by you all lovely people here :wink:

Hello Malin and welcome to the forum!!!
You grow very interesting genera!!
Unfortunatelly, summer heat doers not allow me to do so...
(well apart from some species perhaps...!!?)

Welcome from KY! I'd love to see photos of your cool-growing jewels. I
don't have the conditions to grow them, but I really enjoy seeing them.

Well Malin, sounds like you've been here longer than me. But welcome from Denmark anyway. I used to live in Frederikshavn and I've been to Gothenburg many times
