favorite orchid related URLs?
Joanna,
Since most everyone posted places to buy, I'll post a list of just great places to read and learn about orchids. http://www.loujost.com/ - great modern explorer of the hidden orchid treasures left in Ecuador http://orchids.rnr.id.au/ - Amazing site with hundreds of in-situ photos of Australian terrestrial orchids http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eemntee/page18.html - Australian Native Species http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/herbarium/orchid/ - Orchid Research Newsletter at KEW in England - for true orchid nerds http://elparaiso.org/orchidata/cats.htm - Nice site about Catasetums http://www.pleione.info/ - Everything you wanted to know about Pleiones http://www.disas.com/ - Everything you wanted to know about Disas (note: URL is disas.com, disa.com is a non-orchid business, very boring site) http://houstonorchidsociety.org/Stanhopea/ - Nina Rach's all-comprehensive site dealing with the Stanhopeinae http://sobralia.autrevie.com/ - Nina can't just be satisfied with Stanhopeas - the Sobralia pages are awesome as well http://www.orchids.org/ - OrchidMania's site - good comprehensive info about orchids in general - read the legal disclaimer at the bottom of the main page for a good laugh. This is a quick extract from my Favorites - hope you enjoy them. -Eric in SF "J Fortuna" wrote in message ... I am sure all of us have our favorite orchid-related Web sites. Care to share yours? I assume that many of us are familiar with many such sites, however I assume that there are some sites that you know that I don't, and I would wish I knew, if only I knew that I should know .... Here are a few of mine (just to start out the thread, though I assume most of you already know these): http://www.orchidlady.com http://www.orchidspecies.com http://orchidweb.org/orchids/ -- especially the Orchids A-Z part http://www.orchids.com/ -- I must admit that I have never bought anything from this site yet, but I love going there from time since I think it is the best Web site for browsing through the catalogue and putting everything that appeals in the shopping cart, and thinking how much money I can save by not buying everything that I put in the cart :-) http://www.bedfordorchids.com/ -- I especially enjoyed some of the informational articles such as the ones on Yellow Phalaenopsis Breeding Suggested Rules for this game: (1) Try not to be too shameless, avoid posting your own site (if someone else posted your site, wouldn't that be better) (2) A site isn't a favorite if you have been there only once and don't intend to go back over and over again (3) There is no rule 3. :-) (3a) If you want to ignore these rules, I can't stop you. I am letting go of the sole proprietorship over this thread as soon as I hit the Send button. It's going to lead to tangents, isn't it? I can see it already: from 'favorite sites' to 'HTML coding' to 'code of conduct' to 'conductors' to 'runaway trains' to 'model trains' to 'training supermodels'. Noooooo! Best, Joanna |
