Hello, my name is Marvin, 
I'm 29 and I'm from Rheinhessen in Rheinland-Palz, Germany.
Until recently, I was working as a horticulturist in a botanical garden, 
but unfortunately this is no longer possible for health reasons. 
But I still have plants as a hobby!
To my collection:
In the past my focus was very much on monocots, 
usually genera from the former family Ruscaceae and Convallariaceae, 
but they are often very maintenance-intensive, 
so the collection has simply changed several times 
And for some time I have been focusing on 
Commelinaceae, Gesneriaceae, few Cactaceae and other familys. 
I also restart my collection of neotropical Oxalis 
and I started to collect more Primulaceae especially species from Lysimachia. 
I'm still working as a volunteer in a castle 
where I help to reconstruct the  plant collection by using texts, paintings, 
pictures etc. 

And here are some pictures of some of my plants ( not all geophytic in this post):

Achimenes antirrhina
 


Achimenes grandiflora

 
Begonia grandis subsp. sinensis 
 

Commelina africana


Commelina benghalensis 
 

Pinellia ternata


Primulina tabacum 
  

Siderasis fuscata 
 

Standfieldiella imperforata


Vincetoxicum fuscatum


Vincetoxicum nigrum
  

Ruscus streptophyllus
