Rich,Spencer Aloysius and Ricardo in PR,I have seen your replies.But it is too late now and I have to go to bed.It cost me too much time to reply in English and to find those pictures.Let's go on tomorrow!

Oh my goodness, nanmen, I've never even seen most of those Cymbidiums. They are soooo beautiful and I'd love to smell each
one of them. Thank you so much.

Hello Rich! It is a little difficult to understand the sentence clearly for me.I think I should read more English literature .
13!The parrot is rarer than panda!Peolpe treat it as pet?Even in Yichang city, some big parrot were sold as pet.I always can see the sadness in their eyes.The life of those parrots is a tragedies.
Dear Spencer Aloysius.Those pictures are famous Chinese Cymbididium.I like the 3rd picture best.Because he looks like a traditional Chinese gentleman.He has 300 years history now.
My pleasure,abaxter!The fragrance of them is different~

Don't worry nanmen, Rich is ALWAYS difficult to understand. I didn't understand either what he was trying to say!

Those Cymbidiums are very beautiful

No nobody has kept the parrot as a pet as far as we know since 1960. They are aggresive, wilful and wild animals poorly suited to the typical conditions in which pets are kept. We only know of a very few cases in which birds that survived in captivity in the years before 1950. By law these birds cannot be held as pets as they are considered to be the property of all people. We breed them to release them back into the wild.

Love chinese orchids, we seldom see photos from hobbist there.

Irma, always so literal .

To-Ro-Ran Orchids are the sacred ancient orchids of China and Japan prized for their fragrance.
Complex and subtle, their scent lifts one beyond the realm of earth.

One could be technical and identify their fragrances as having bits and pieces of various flower scents found about the earth and the precise way they layer across your olfactory palate. One could tell which component effected which physiological change in a person
, but its the whole of the fragrance to be experienced
in its transcendence of your being.

I will do my best to learn English.Now English is my second major in the universuty.
Those Chinese Cymbidiums are famous in China.And some of them are very expensive.I just have the common.I will show them when they bloom.
I bought two species of Dendrobium over the Internet.I wanna post their photos when I get them.Could I post photos in the orchid soup of orchid forums.Or others?

Hello again nanmen. Photos of orchid plants and flowers should be posted in the "Orchid Hybrid Photo Gallery (for hybrids); or, the Orchid Species Photo Gallery (for species).

Your English is quite good. Keep in mind that all of us find Rich difficult to understand, sometimes. Don't become frustrated if you have trouble understanding what he is saying. Sometimes we wonder if even he understands what he is saying!

nanmen, I'm one of the moderators of Orchid Soup and you can post
photos there all you want to!!! Or you can use Orchid Hybrids or
Species for posting photos. You photos are so extraordinary and
having a citizen of China here with us is sooooo nice that you can
post wherever you want to post. You can teach us a lot about
Chinese orchids and I hope we can pass along some information to
you as well.

May I ask if you are male or female without being too personal? My
name is Angela and I live in Corbin, Kentucky which is a small town with no
other orchid growers. This forum is my lifeline to other orchid people
and a wonderful place to connect with others in many different countries. You already have friends here.

Thank you ,John M,I appreciate you!
Maybe Rich is a romantic man~:)
It is kind of you,Angela!
Those pictures are from the Internet ,not mine,I am not good at photography……Just the second and third posts' photos are taken by me.
You can ask me any personal qestion you want.Never mind.I am a boy.My name real is YangWei.(I am sorry for everyone.Nanmen is not my real name.But I don't like the name because it is the same as a famouse Chinese athlete.I don't like people joke with me on it.)It is a plaesure to introduce Chinese orchid for everyone!In Yichang,there are 3 species of Chinese Cymbidium in the nature.And you also can find Dendrobium.But I never see them except at flower market.
Today is a sunny day!My plants will have a sunshine bath at last.It is cloudy several days.

What a great description...a "sunshine bath"! The weather in KY has
been cloudy and lots of rain for the last couple of weeks, so I know
exactly what you mean. May I have your permission to use sunshine
bath and add it to my weather descriptions for KY weather?

Certainly you can !
It is rainy again.We have to bear almost all the rainy or cloudy winter in the city .I have adapted the climate here and the wheather never influnce my mood. But now i grow up and I feel a little sad .I live in the city from 3 to 20 years old now.(My university is also in the city)I am young and I want to go outside

When it's that dismal outside
, go out and dance in the rain Wei .

Or at worse case, find/make enjoyment despite the weather.

Still afternoon
and Jasmine flowers drift
as smiles against the clouds.

Nice flower~I like it!
I am a little busy but i still remember i said i am pleasue to help my friends here on putonghua.If you have any question about Chinese clulture , language or other thing ,let us communicate here?
