Hello all,

I am Hans Achilles - five years ago I moved from germany to spain.
Here i do my best to grow some bulbous plants which are adapted to the local climatical conditions - mainly mediterranean species but also from other regions like asia, southafrica and chile -  my favorites at the moment are Iris (Oncocyclus, Junos ...)
I am glad to join the forum - and i am sure I will learn a lot here.

Hello Thomas,
thanks for your friendly welcome,
first I lived in Bonn - then I moved to Dresden and now I live here in the frostfree mediterranean - what makes growing bulbs quiet easier. ;)

Welcome Hans! With the winter weather here in Aberdeen at the moment, I am thinking that your move to Spain was a clever one!

And a warm welcome from the deep south too, to all new Forum members and posters. There has been so much to catch up on lately that this thread has evaded me for some time.

Hans I'll be very interested to see your oncos and junos and hear about how you grow them. They are two of my great loves as well.

Good to have you on the forum, Hans. Enjoy your time here and I look forward to your postings.

And Renate and John also, of course - I hadn't visited this thread for a while!

Not an Onco or a Juno - but I want to thank all of you for this very warm welcome with a picture of Iris pamphylica flowered last week here in my garden.

Hello to everybody
I have joined the Forum recently but I have noticed only now that there is a special topic to introduce myself.
I am Roberto Gamoletti from Italy and I live in the north near Milano.
I am a member of the SRGC, HPS and RHS.
I am very interested in hellebores and peonies both species and hybrids. I grow, propagate and hybridize these plants in my small garden. I grow also a few bulbs (aroids, trillium, crocus, fritillarias among them) and several are from seeds obtained through the seed exchange.
A couple of years ago I joined the Aril Society and I have started growing aril hybrid irises, too.
I am very happy to have joined the Forum and to get in contact with other "plant enthusiasts" like me.

Welcome Hans and Roberto from another newby to this forum.
Seems like there is some pretty experienced growers of rare and wonderful plants on this forum and they are all so welcoming.
