ORCHIDACEAE FORTNIGHT IS SURELY GOING TO BE VERY EXCITING ONE For once I thought that here is one episode I will sit back and enjoy. I just started collecting my photographs and soon realised that I may have reasonable number of uploads, perhaps more than our winner in last month episode. If person like me with practically no knowledge of orchids could have this number, I veterans from West and East would surely have much more to upload. So be ready for this great episode, and make all out efforts to make it a grand success.
