Hello from France
 

I've been lurking for a while and have decided it is time to say Hello!
I was English but I've been living in south-west France for 45 years and am now French.
I only have a low pension and tend to buy orchids that have lost their flowers and wait to see what will show up! I have a dozen different Encyclias which are my favourites.
Thank you for letting me join your board.....I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions.
