I work in Kew Gardens here in London, in the Orchid Unit of the Tropical Nursery where basially all of our tender back-up collections are kept (i.e. everything that is not on permanent display in the public glasshouses). We are a small team looking after 5 different climatic zones, cool through to warm growing. There are a few strong points taxonomically speaking: big Bulbophyllum collections, Dendrobium, Coelogyne, Maxillaria - but really there is a mix and match of a whole lot of different things. I mainly look after thw intermediate-warm growers but help out here and there with everything else too!
We don't (currently) have good photos of the nursery collections, which is a shame, and hopefully at some point in the future we'll put some up to share with the wider world. For the moment best I can do is to dig through my own pics and post some on here in a few days!
