Default 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.

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
