There are more species than I can find, it's hard for me to find habitat of orchids considering that I'm living here last few years...in our flora is described about 172 species :) Can't wait to see your orchid spottings :)

You're welcome! You have a wonderful variety of orchids in your area! Ours are not out as yet: it snowed again last night... but soon :-)
Jopy
Thank you very much!
Jopy
That's what I thought! I think you're right, will update the page later! :)
