    Hi guys I'm Andy a Brit living in Thailand farming orchids for 4 years now i used to grow for a hobby in the UK and have a busy building business but gave it up for the quiet life. I grow mostly species here but have a love for Biulbophyllum. I've had a little look around your forum and looks great to me :)

    Hi there hanks for the welcome I have been looking around here for few hours now. I am set up to export yes not really sure how much i should or shouldn't say about that after reading the commercial advertising part of this forum??? But anyway yes we are we have the largest true species CITES list in the country i am sure. 1 1/2 years ago we took over a rather large and well known farm in he north of Thailand

    Yes, OI does frown on blatant commercialism on posts (we have had to delete several) but it is also good to know about our members. I think letting us know the name of your business and if you have a web site is OK but that is probably where the commercial should end on this site. I'm glad you are here.

    Thanks mate we do try to keep something for everyone and i am sure there are some you can keep alive i know some really very very hard like Bulbophyllum hamelinii this plant is hard in every way impossible to make seed (to the point i gave up and didn't even ry this year just sent the whole plant to the lab for cloning), hard to flower and really even hard just to keep alive but others like Bulbophyllum molasses and occultum really are very easy almost hard to kill them
