A very warm welcome to you Erika.  Please do not worry about your English ... it is FAR better than our Hungarian.  :D
We hope you enjoy our forum and the many interesting subjects that it contains.

Hello, Erika, how nice to have you join us here.  8)

 There are a great many people here who have English as a second or even third language, so please do not worry.... I am sure we will understand you, or, if not, we can ask questions .... that way we will all learn more! :D

 We have some other members from Hungary also, so you will have help from them, I am sure.  :)

Hi,  I am Bill Dijk from Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.
Some of the SRGC members already know me from the PBS or Daffnet.
I was born in Holland, were I acquired most of my horticultural education, but 45 years ago, we emigrated to green, clean, and yet unspoiled, beautiful New Zealand.
We (husband and wife) manage and operate a small mail-order nursery (mainly bulbs), both hardy and tender, which originally started of as a hobby.
I am now semi-retired (whatever that means) but I seem to work harder than before retirement. No rest for the wicked they say.
My main interest are in rare and unusual bulbs and plants, although I will grow and enjoy almost anything that offers a challenge and produces beautiful plants.
My favourite geophytes are Tecophilaea (in full glorious flower at the moment) miniature Narcissi species and varieties, Cyrtanthus, Lachenalia, Romulea, Lapeirousia, Fritillaria, Hipeastrum, Brunsvigia, Oxalis, Leucocoryne, Rhodophiala, Tropaeolum, Trillium, Gladioli, Moraea, Ariseama, etc. jus to mention a few.
Anyway, I am now a fully paid up SRGC member and l look forward to participating, and meeting other knowledgeable like minded people.
This forum appeals to me for its friendly, no nonsense, interactive approach, experience and expertise on display, with beautiful digital pictures to match, on the best website around.
Great to be amongst people with the same shared passion.
