The orchid picture reference database of the London (Ontario) Orchid
Society has had a major update.

This database contains pointers to orchid pictures in printed
documents (books, catalogues, magazines, etc.)

It now contains 95,451 pointers to all the pictures in 977 documents.

These documents include most of the popular orchid books, all of the
AOS Bulletin/Orchids magazines from 1970 to the present and all of the

AOS Awards Quarterly magazines up to the end of 2002 as well as
general plant and garden books and many catalogues and popular
magazines.

If you are looking for a picture of a particular orchid that you
cannot find directly on the net or you are looking for more than just
the picture (i.e. award statistics, culture information, geographical
growing location, etc.) then look in the database at
http://los.lon.imag.net/picref.asp . The picture will often be part
of a descriptive article about that orchid.

Using all or part of the orchid name you will get a list of the plant
name(s) containing your search string, the name of the book or
document, the page number, as well as whether the picture is a
photograph or drawing and whether it is in colour or black and white.

A complete list of the 977 documents indexed can be found at:

Enjoy.
