,
Iam Nalini kottolli, new member. Gardening is my passion, rather obsession. I am a collector of plants & grow them in containers, as I dont have groung place. I have around 300 orchids, consisting of Dendrobiums, Oncidiums, Cattleyas, Phalaenopsis, Slipper orchid, Vandas & some species,
I am in Bangalore, India. It is difficult to get the orchid plants, as we dont have nurseries selling Orchids, like Carter & homes Or Kruller, as in US. Painstakingly I have been collecting Orchids since 20 years.

Yes it would be great to know how you got hold of so many orchid in India.I find it extreamly challenging to buy them here. Maybe you could help me out.
