Hi from Portugal
 

:hello
I registered in this forum a long time ago, but I really didn´t grew anything too interesting so I didn´t participated right away.
Couple of weeks ago things changed as the Portuguese orchid association organized the first international expo in my country:biggrin: I got the orchids I´ve been dreaming since the beggining, more than 5 years ago. :banana:
So now I´ve taken a step perhaps bigger than I should but I hope you can help me with my new plants.

I also grow other plants such as carnivorous ones, trees, ferns, mosses, couple of cycads, fruit plants... basicly I like all Plantae.

:welcome: What types did you buy, please post :photo: when you can, 'cos we're big on enjoying other people's chids

Welcome & Hello !
Sit back and relax...you've come to the right place...read postings by other members and learn from their wealth of knowledge learned from their years of experience on growing orchids.

Hello Luis, what plants did you finally get?
Joann

Hello & Welcome to OB Luis!
As already said above I hope you will show us photos of the beauties you bought.

Love the sign...lolol....Jean

Welcome to Orchid Board! That's very exciting about the Portuguese orchid association. Good luck with your new orchids.

:hello and welcome! Glad your here and looking forward to seeing some pics!

Welcome :)

It's great that you now have an international expo but you know what that means right ????....

Better start looking for a second or third job ;)

:welcomeflowers:

Thak you all:)

Mali, you are sooo right:rofl: Good thing I´m still a student and there are only two expo´s a year.

The plants I wanted long ago were the Angraecum sesquipedale, Phragmipedium besseae and a Dracula. I bought Dracula ophioceps because it is suposed to be moderatly easy to grow. Maybe one day I´ll go for the chimaera:blushing:

My recent obcession are Masdevallias so I got the M. prodigiosa, regia and rima rima alba (OMG I still have not finished the "highland" setup and the last one is already spiking)

I also bought Phrag. hirtzii and Epidendrum embreei.

I really need help with some of these plants so I´ll sure post some pics.

Are you kiding me Tetouan!?
Some years ago I was about to quit this hobby when I found Ophrys speculum in one of my family´s terrains. That gave me a lot of motivation as I have never even seen such a plant in photos.
So, as you can see terrestrial orchids mean a lot to me:)
