Greetings from Sweden :)

[The Mutant]

Hello there OB. I'm an utter newbie when it comes to orchids even though I've had some of my paphs for some time. I recently joined a Swedish orchid forum and ever since then my interest developed into something much more akin to mania.

My favourite spieces is Phalaenopsis and since joining the Swedish forum I have discovered the joy and glory of the "pure" species, particularly equestris.

Since I've stumbled on this forum on several occasions when checking orchid related topics, I decided to join. I hope you can help me to grow as an owner and my phals to grow as orchids. I also hope I will learn how to use the correct terminology when talking about orchids because I think I use a lot of homemade ones at the moment...

(oh, you are most welcome to point out my spelling errors and any grammatical errors I will make - this forum is also a way for me to improve my English and not only to improve my phal-caretaking abilities ).
