"The biggest problem is that orchids can only be identified when they are
flowering - otherwise one green leaf looks pretty much like another," said
Dr David Roberts, Kew's orchid expert and the man who discovered their

Reka,
Fascinating article! The two paragraphs above sort of tie to the discussion

a reference to your post of this article in that thread in a moment.
Thank you,
Joanna
