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):
