Hello Everyone -
I hope you are having a great day! Whether you are or not, perhaps this will make it better -
I just thought I would post this in case some of you have not found this resource yet.
Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia
I have found it invaluable for finding the specifics about a species orchid. So much so that I think this should be a sticky (hint, hint)
I am not really sure where this post should be placed, perhaps at the beginning of the 'Orchid Alliance' section; for species lovers/collectors, it is a great tool.
It includes professional photos of the flowers, the plants and often the plants in-situ. It will provide you with the plant's country of origin, the climate, the elevation, the location of where the plant is growing (side of trees, on rocks, etc.) and the basic environment they are found in. There are sooooo many listings you really have to applaud the webmaster of this site as it is quite intensive.
Hope it helps someone out there!!
Steve
